Re: [xslt] Extending EXSLT support to get the crypto part

[Charles Bozeman <cbozeman hiwaay net>]

I object to adding anything to libexslt that isn't supported in EXSLT.
However, if/when dynamic loading of shared libraries is working, then I
could see a us creating a new library with this and other utility
programs.
