 Then there doesn't seem to be any need to keep ledger_xsl.?pp.

 Yes, I did see this when I was wondering, in the beginning of this
project, whether we needed to keep using libxslt at all (libxml itself is
used in more places, e.g. for the configuration settings, so there is no
question of removing dependency on it, but I hoped to get rid of this one).
But I didn't touch this code -- nor have I tested it, to be honest, but I
don't think I could have broken it...

 Sorry again if I'm missing something obvious, but why do you think this?
