I have similar issues, because I create different kinds of output (PDF, 
HTML, and plain text) from the same source file(s). I use a script (just a 
plain old batch file at this client, but it's been bash or Perl at other 
places) to:
* do some file system stuff (making directories, copying static files, 
etc.)
* invoke Saxon to produce one kind of output
* do some more file system stuff
* invoke Saxon to produce a second kind of output
* and so on

XSLT doesn't give you tools for interacting with the file system, so you 
need to use other tools (scripting languages, programming languages, 
editors, etc.) to manage the larger process. I think of XSLT as one 
component of a set of tools that, together, give me all the capabilities I 
need.

Just my view of things.
