Actually, with the 4.2 DTD, you can use textobject
directly in programlisting:

     <programlisting>
         <textobject>
           <textdata fileref="yourfile.txt"/>
         </textobject>
     </programlisting>

You only need the inlinemediaobject wrapper
if you are using 4.1.2.

Also, the text insertion process is an extension function,
and is not available in xsltproc.  You can use saxon,
but you must include the saxon extensions jar file
in your CLASSPATH, and you must set these two parameters
to nonzero:  use.extensions and textinsert.extension.
