Well, at the momement we don't have a Xalan Tranformer extension point 
setup to use the XSLTC transformer.   The XSLTC transformer takes a 
Stylesheet and compiles it down to Java Byte Code.   You can compile it 
realtime with the transformer and execute it.    I personally haven't 
seen any speed difference between the compiled version and the normal 
interpreted version of the sytlesheet.

With that said, I do think we need to open an enhancement request so 
that Xalan users can choose to either use the normal Transformer or the 
XSLTC Transformer.  

So my vote is to distribute the bcel and jcup_runtime as they will be 
needed for this transformation process.
