We had six people vote: all +1
So i have added it to the ToDo list.

Now, to everyone who voted, and anyone else. We need
help to get this target integrated into the build.

There are some notes inside build.xml and basically
it needs to come early in the build process but after the
sitemap.xmap files have been automatically constructed.

There is also some new work by Colin Adams (see Bug 14581)
to extend this, adding Schematron rules to the sitemap.rng
to conduct even better validation of sitemaps. I suppose
that we should get the main "validate-config" target added
soon, then follow up with adding Colin's new work.

This is probably a bad time, with people away at either
the Cocoon GetTogether or Apachecon. Anyway, i am making
sure that the issue stays on our agenda.
