DOCBOOK-APPS: how to create an .xsl file to transform pidgin docbook

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday at mindspring dot com>]

  just in case anyone was interested, i threw together a script
that accepts pairs of element names and generates the appropriate
.xsl file that i use to tranform pidgin docbook to the real thing.

  it *appears* to work, and you can see how easy it is to add
more transformations.
