There were also comments that the path is sometimes wrong.  Using test -f 
should fix the immediate regression - but it would be better not to 
hardcode paths at all.  Presumably the issue is that some particular 
stylesheets are needed *in the path searched by the tools being tested 
for*, which may depend on how those tools were configured and may not be 
in /usr at all.  So it would be better to have a feature test - run the 
tools (if found) on a suitable document to see if they can find the 
required stylesheets.  Perhaps the libstdc++ maintainers could comment on 
what the actual feature required is for which a path test is being used as 
a bad proxy?
