Calling iw_tools.xsl methods from my own Utility XSL file

Howdy!

I have created a handy-dandy little Xalan Javascript component to add extended attributes to files that have been created through a redirect mechanism into a separate file (similar to how iw_ostream worked).

At the moment I'm kind of stumped as to how I would call the Interwoven javascript methods found in iwtools.xsl from my own "utils.xsl" that I'm creating.

As a temporary workaround I've copied all the functions from iwtools.xsl into my own utils.xsl file... It works... But it really sucks... What I really want to do is to reference the IW commands (iw:getArea, iw:getDcr, iw:run) and pull that file in. Any thoughts?

Here's the content of my script, since I figure it may help others:

            function addExtendedAttributes(fullOutputFilePath) {
                var outputDirectory = getOutputDirectory();
                var outputFilename = getOutputFileName();
                var area = getArea();
                partialPath = outputDirectory.substr(area.length+1);

                var pathAndFilename = '\\'+partialPath+'\\'+outputFilename;

                var fullDcrPathAndFilename = getDcr();

                var dcrFilename = fullDcrPathAndFilename.replace(/.*templatedata\/.*\/data\/(.*)/, '$1');
                var documentType = fullDcrPathAndFilename.replace(/.*templatedata\/(.*)\/data\/.*/, '$1');

                addSingleExtendedAttribute('TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryDCR', dcrFilename, fullOutputFilePath);
                addSingleExtendedAttribute('TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryDocumentType', documentType, fullOutputFilePath);
                addSingleExtendedAttribute('GeneratedOrOstreamed', 'ostreamed', fullOutputFilePath);
                addSingleExtendedAttribute('GeneratedFile', pathAndFilename, fullOutputFilePath);
                return '';

            }

            function addSingleExtendedAttribute(attributeName, attributeValue, filePath) {
               var commandToExecute = 'cmd.exe /c /iw-home/TeamSite/bin/iwextattr -s "'+attributeName+'='+attributeValue+'" '+filePath;
               run(commandToExecute);
            }
