I think that xmldepend.xsl should be contained in the packages. I checked back to SCons v2.3.2 and it was never included right from 
the start. Funny that nobody noticed until now, I guess I always tried to rebuild from the sources on my machine...definitely have 
to amend my workflow for preparing release packages. ;)

Pawel, please open an issue on github about this, I'll try to look into it as soon as possible.

We should also discuss what to do about the copy of the docbook XSLT stylesheets that are checked in alongside with the sources. 
Should these be packaged too, such that the user doesn't have to care about installing them separately?

Best regards,

Dirk
