I could, and possibly should.  It's to get a configuration file,
followed by a number of XSLT files specified in the configuration file,
for the transformation of IMS content package manifests on import.  The
idea is to be able to transform non-standard CPs and allow the
transforms to be changed at runtime.  The obvious place for these is
probably not under WEB-INF.

The *most* obvious place for these is possibly in the database, along
with the appropriate user interface for amending them.  However, I feel
the effort required to implement this is overkill for what is,
ultimately, an experimental facility in a system that may not survive.
If the transforms are used and changed regularly, we can amend the
storage mechanism in a future release.
