I use ant to call up XSLT to build an ant script... then run
that built ant script from the 'parent' script?

Use a list of params to the building xslt, to control the built ant
script.

<echo>Now run ant build file ${imagelist_anttask}</echo>
<ant antfile="${imagelist_anttask}" target="copy"/> 
<echo>All image files validated and copied to
${global_styles}/xslfo</echo>


Sounds like incest, but it works fine.
