The "redirect" feature is used to cause the XSLT processor to generate
more than one output file from the one xml and one xsl file, taking
the filenames from the xml file. The XSLT processor your ant is using
doesn't appear to support this feature. There is some documentation
about telling ant which XSLT processor to use in the ant manual at:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/style.html
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies
However, I don't know too much about the details of ant's interactions
with XSLT, or even how to determine which XSLT processor it's actually
using.

Ironically, one of the main reasons for using xml and XSLT was that they
were supposedly standard, so we would avoid these kinds of problems.

If someone more familiar with XSLT can suggest how to generate multiple
output files whose names are specified in the xml in a way that is more
likely to be better supported by different XSLT processors, that would
be very helpful.

The SableCC distribution comes with a script bin/sablecc. When
installing SableCC, you need to put this script in a directory on your
PATH. If you install SableCC using the package manager of your
distribution (such as Debian), it should do this automatically.
The version of SableCC I use is:

~ $ dpkg -l | grep sablecc
ii  sablecc        2.18.2-1       object-oriented compiler framework

Hope that helps...
