Yeah, since I use the latest builds pretty much daily in my day job, I 
eat my own dog food in XSL Tools so to speak.   I'll see about 
documenting some smoke tests, but for me this week is going to be 
difficult to get it done.  I've got a pretty busy week.

Doug and Jesper, this is something we need to look at documenting.   I 
can take a crack at it, but will need your input as well.  Jesper do you 
think you could take a look at the smoke tests?
