FWIW, here's three ways that I've used Saxon from Ant at various times
(note that '${basedir}/etc' is in the classpath because it has the
'CatalogManager.properties' needed when not letting Ant do all the
catalog stuff).  I haven't tried the Saxon-specific Ant task that comes
with recent versions of Saxon.

	  out="out/${out}"

      <factory name="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
      <xmlcatalog refid="catalog"/>
    </xslt>
  </target>
