Or if you change the BJam to XML converter to capture the output to a 
stringstream (output), then do:

   std::string line;
   while( std::getline( output, str ))
   {
      std::cout << "<line>" << str << "</line>" << std::endl;
   }

this will solve the large output problem as it will be broken into line tags 
with text nodes that are small enough to be processed by xsltproc. This will 
change the way that the XML is processed:

If the line elements are guaranteed to be in an output element, you can 
have:

<xsl:template name="output">
   <pre><xsl:apply-templates/></pre>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="output/line"><xsl:apply-templates/>&#x09;</xsl:template>

NOTE: there is a lack of space in the pre element and the line template. 
This is to prevent any extra whitespace being added inside the pre element. 
The &#x09; (or &#x0A;, I can't remember which) will add a newline to the 
output.

The alternative is to not use pre and replace with <div> elements for each 
output/line element, but this would be more complex.

Therefore, you don't need to truncate any output :).

HTH,
