Add a local copy of the XSL stylesheets needed to build Box Backup docs,
as remote copies are slow and prone to failure and weird behaviour with different versions of xsltproc (e.g. on Cygwin).

+<para>This template enables auto-generation of an appropriate

+ for generating choice separators for non-inline lists).</para>
+
+
+<para>It currently works by evaluating a processing instruction
+ (PI) of the form &lt;?dbchoice choice="foo"?&gt; :
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>if the value of the <tag>choice</tag>

+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ The latter is provided only as a temporary workaround because the
+ locale files do not currently have translations for the word
+ <wordasword>or</wordasword>. So if you want to generate a a
+ logical "or" separator in French (for example), you currently need
+ to do this:
+ <literallayout>&lt;?dbchoice choice="ou"?&gt;</literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <warning>
