Sorry for my stupidity but I still cannot see the
xml entity in the compile attribute.

  2>&1

is not an xml-entity. Examples for entities I can think of are:

  &copy;               for the copyright sign (c)
  &lt;                 for <

These are the entities like they are used in HTML for
example. Then one can define own entities like this:

<!ENTITY gobo "GOBO Eiffel">
This is &gobo;


So with the support of entities it probably would look like this
(I hope it comes through the mail proberly):

   <getest config="getest.cfg"
     compile="geant compile_ise &gt; xcompile.log 2&gt;&1"/>

Maybe the ampersand has to replaced by an entity as well (I cannot
remeber the symbol for it right now). But personally I find
the CDATA version more readable.

Yes, would be nice. But the current implementation does not support
many features of a professional XML parser. But we can add missing
features as we need them. So to solve the current problem I would
rather suggest to use CDATA.
