This is in context of either a C# DLL or a managed C++ Windows application.

The idea is to save the full context (like Serialize) of a loaded 
XslTransform object as part of the binary file of my application so that, 
once loaded, the orginal .xslt + it's "include"-ed xslt files (which could be 
in sub-folders) are not needed any more (in fact, once the application has 
loaded the XslTransform object, it does not even need to know where the 
"include"-ed files came from...) and the binary file can be sent to any one 
without the need of sending all the necessary (sub-)folders.
