Description

Ola,

just pulled down source via SVN, read the README, and bumped into this in:

It says

"""
If you are running a Debian GNU/Linux system (or a derivative such as Ubuntu
GNU/Linux) you can install these dependencies using the `apt-get` command:

apt-get install automake autoconf libtool subversion-tools help2man
"""

Should add "xsltproc" to the list. That makes ./bootstrap work (at least on my variant of linux)

Since I'm here, I'll just mention this... The next set of dependencies, you give the hint to do apt-cache search libicu. The results of that for Ubuntu 8.0.4, that line would be:

apt-get install build-essential erlang libicu38 libicu-dev libmozjs-dev

after that... the install went great. Don't know if this is worth adding to the README or not, but hope it helps in some way...
thanks,
