Indeed it would. However I'm not an XLST expert, and from my limited
exposure that seems a more difficult option than using C#.
Thinking out aloud...
saute* [before] [after] [result.wxs] <options>
Options:
-u : generate uninstall create & delete commands as needed
Pre-process:
Parse both "before" and "after" into documents. i.e. validate is well-formed.
Validate any schemas.
Process (starting at root)
1. Look for "before" "after" attribute differences and generate
commands if found.
2. For each child node in "before"
Is the "after" file missing child node?
Yes - generate delete commands and move to next sibling.
3. For each child node in "after"
Is the "before" file missing child node?
Yes - recursively create commands and move to next sibling.
No - Start again from 1. on each grandchild node. i.e. recurse down tree.
I appreciate recursion may not be the most efficient approach, but
good enough for starters.
Thoughts?
