Comment:
Some random thoughts:
1) Aren't libxml2 and libxslt prerequisites for xsltproc anyway? So maybe
a quick verification that xsltproc is present and working would be enough?
2) TaTex is just a Windows port/distribution of Tex/LaTex, we should check
that LaTex is in the path. Checking for ghostscript is harder because the
command line (ie name of the executable to check for) differs between
Windows and Linux OS's :-(
3) Checks for Doxygen / Latex / Ghostscript should occur only when those
tools are used: they're not necessary for those of us who use straight
Quickbook/DocBook.
Cheers, John.
