I'm currently aware of the following XSLT engines which are in C/C++ 
and Open Source.

- Sablotron as you mention
- Xalan C++, poor platform support
- MDC-XSL (http://mdc-xsl.sourceforge.net/), which is documented as 
supporting only a "subset" of XSLT

Most others are in Java; the few remaining C implementations are 
closed source (Oracle's, Microsoft's, and a few other COM APIs). The 
most complete list I'm aware of is at
http://www.xmlsoftware.com/xslt/

I haven't tried Sablotron yet - the doc lists a lot of  
"unimplemented" features for my taste, in particular xsl:sort. Can 
you comment on how easy it is to build on your platform[s] ?
