I think the plan is rather to throw the XSLT one away at
that point...

Very nice.

That sounds sensible.

My only concern with that plan is that miscounts due to
wacky C compilers are going to be hard to detect.  Perhaps
part of "make check" should be a little test program that
compares the each of defines with its sizeof?
