Comment (by robe):

 Olivier,

 Okay your postgis.dll works.  I see one major difference now.  You have
 the libxml statically compiled into the postgis.dll so your file is 4.9mb
 (you have proj statically compiled too bTW)  while mine is under a
 megabyte.  I think the stories I was seeing about crashing were with
 dynamically linked like what I was doing.

 1) How do you create a statically linked version -- I thought I tried but
 maybe I didn't -- can you give me your compile statement for libxml2 and
 postgis.

 2) From a licensing standpoint -- is there an issue with statically
 compiling in the libxml.  It does create one less dependency -- though a
 heftier postgis.dll.  Probably adds another 1 megabyte to the postgis.dll
 file which its small anyway.
