half way between next release and one day. i just need to redo all the ant scripts, which is gonna be tedious. I aim to amalgamate a lot
of common code in them, to make them easier to maintain anyway.

two things to bear in mind:

 - you can just write a 2 line script now saying

      xmllint --xinclude $1 > tmp.xml
      teitodocx tmp.xml `basebame $1.xml `.epub

    to get the effect you want. or indeed you could add that to "transformtei" for me, following a --xinclude

- don't expect XInclude to work in e.g. OxGarage, cos I just can't face the issues of failed relative includes
