Edward,

These options look OK.

OK

Hmm, I just tried to build GDAL SVN with Xerces 2.7.0 and I didn't get
any errors. I will check GDAL 1.4.2 release.

XERCESCROOT is not required nor used by GDAL build configuration.
It's only needed if you build Xerces and then it should point to the
root directory of Xerces sources, the one you get after
unpacking the .tar.gz package.

I'll check GDAL 1.4.2 today and bring some feedback.
