this is more the task of an Emitter. If you want to do things properly, 
you'll have to define an additional set of builders for xsltproc, lxml 
and libxml2. You can then add your specialized Emitter to the 
constructors of the single Builders and replace the call of 
__select_builder() with something like:

   __builder = __select_builder(__lxml_builder_epub, 
__libxml2_builder_epub, __xsltproc_builder_epub)

.

We currently have the situation that our repository is on bitbucket, 
while the bug database is still managed by Tigris...as long as we don't 
have decided where we want to migrate to.
