The not-yet-published repository is now published, at <git://switchb.org/e-xml

(I haven't set up gitweb or other browsing due to lack of time to  
research and do so. In fact, I didn't really have the time to do what  
I've just done to get this code working such that it does a reasonable  
amount, but ...)

The code is *VERY* rough, badly-factored, and it probably isn't  
actually good for much yet. Tell me what you need immediately, and/or  
provide patches!

(I'm guessing the answer will be "value-holes in XML literals".)

Here's how I run the test cases:

$ rlwrap rune -cpa classpath
? rune(["/path/to/updoc.e", "test"])

(By the way, your code will fail to generate proper results if the XML  
literal contains a "$" since it doesn't unescape them in substitute/1.)
