Oh - thanks a lot for clearing that up - i was afraid i've done something 
wrong during the build...

Well, the only xls file i have is themes/dri2xhtml.xsl
Inside of themes/Reference/ is only lib(contains only style sheets) and 
sitemap.xmap - is it possible that xls file for that theme is 
themes/template/template.xsl? Other themes (Classic and Kubrick) do have 
[theme-name].xls. But i wuld really like to build on Reference theme.
I'll poke around to see if i can figure it out, but any help will be 
appreciated - the lack of 1.5 specific how-tos is a bit of the killer, but 
not surprising giving how recent the release is.

Thanks again
Vadim
