If there are things which can be done with the Rakefile but can't be
done with the Makefile and other existing tools, then it might be
worth looking at. It means installing Ruby though, right?

It looks like the only additional functionality the Rakefile has is to
incorporate validation. We can do that with the existing Makefile by
adding a validate target and calling xmlint from there, bypassing
validate.sh altogether.

Cheers,
Jeff
