Ok, I nearly finished it :) It is written in Python and is called "dctrl2xml".

Thanks so far. I think I'll write my own PHP script that will output a more

Forgot to mention parsers are not obligated to respect whitespace and
newlines unless it's in a tag, though they usually do (and
they have flags to control this). It's like the tag in HTML in

You didn't use an actual CDATA node you used an element named CDATA.

In our case we're using sed. Is sed unicode-aware?

I want to publish on my homepage a list of packages, that are in my private
