I have been using my XSLies presentation generator as a valid
PowerPoint substitution for some time already. Have a look at

I have a few patches and improvements submitted by others that I
should make into a new release soon enough. The new version will have

- No dependency on the Java XSLT extension
- Clickable items on the contents page
- Support for controlling which slides are included in the contents
  page 
- Easy way of making links between slides.
