Re: [docbook] Changes in 1.79.1 stylesheets affecting XLink/xref handling? [Solved]

It's fantastic how you always get an idea just the second after you 
pressed enter and letting the world know that you are indeed stupid ..

Reason for revisiting the old project was to update the build 
environment. As part of that I updated all makefile(s) and so also for 
the for the docs and in that process changed (inadvertently) so that all 
*.xml files was automatically added in xsltproc command.

Since I use xinclude it should only have been the masterfile given to 
xsltproc.

Removing all the non-essential xml files as sources for xsltproc command 
fixed the problem.

So in conclusion: me -1, xsltproc +1
