   I just spent 2 hours debugging by print statement and in fact I gave up and just debugged the problem by moving the code into daffodil-macro-lib as a top-level application, and then debugging it in Eclipse. 
   
   I think sbt plugin debugging has to be done the way embedded debugging usually works which is by attaching a debugger to another jvm started with debug flags/ports specified. Which is a pain in the neck.
   
   By keeping this thing as ordinary code, no-sbt-specific things in it, I can debug it as ordinary code. I don't need a debug system that can cope with debugging sbt plugins. 
   
   Having now got that debugged.... I've moved the code back to the project/ directory so it will run from sbt.
