Ben,

Xerces should be found automatically if it is in the default locations
(I think).  The --with-xerces-lib and --with-xcerces-inc items can be
used to specifically control the include and link directives if necessary.
Generally if you build and install xerces in a non-standard location you
can use --with-xerces=/opt or something similar.

1.7.0 likely will work, and I thought that some 2.x versions were working
after I made a slight improvement to the include logic, but I am a bit
uncertain about this.  I am willing to update the GML code to support more
modern Xerces versions if you need.  Just file a bug report in Bugzilla.

Best regards,
