It can't be that easy :)
The xalan-2.7.2 you just uploaded does not contains xsltc, whereas the 
previous xalan-2.7.1 did contain it.
And the xsltc.jar comes bundled with cled and regexp.

But you're completely right, it seems we did not have an official xalan jar.

My suggestion, to preserve legacy behaviour, is to remove 
org.apache.(bcel|regexp).* from the full xalan jar.

What do you think ?
