For BOM generation, please also consider python scripts, like the
footprint generators/footprint wizard.

XSLT was used when the BOM generation from our generic netlist replaced
the internal generator, but now (and since a long time) BOM from python
scripts are (from my point of view) more easy to use, and more powerful.

I am now using only python scripts for BOM generation.
