Comment (by robe):

 Olivier,

 Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.  Under a lot of time
 pressures with other projects this week so you probably won't here much
 from me for at least another week or 2.

 Regarding the attached.  It doesn't compile for me at all.  Gives errors
 like


 {{{

 and goes on and on.  The gml in BTW works fine on my OpenSUSE 10.3 (using
 the same libxml source) (haven't tried my more finicky 11).  Even going
 thru the gardent test seems to work fine.

 I think its an issue with compiling libxml2 under mingW.  I searched, and
 it seems stories are the same with the libxml crashing when compiled under
 mingw.  Possibly threading issues or something.  the compile of libxml2
 also gives a ton of warnings about exceeded length of the form


 {{{
 .libs/lt-testModule.c:285: warning: string length `1611' is greater than
 the length `509' ISO C89 compilers are required to support

 }}}


 So I fear this may be beyond my abilities to solve.  Perhaps Mark can take
 a stab at it when he has the time to see if there is a trick to getting
 this to behave correctly.

 My newer mingw 4.4 compiler refuses to even compile the libxml2.

 Thanks,
 Regina
