Other major languages (such as Java and C#) have large standard
libraries and
have done quite well with them. In fact, I believe that the large size of
their standard libraries is generally seen as major advantage of those
languages.
These languages are platforms with a complete abstraction from the
underlying OS and libraries. My JDK installation is 170 MB in size. I
would prefer thin wrappers over good existing libraries like curl.
Possibly even msxml4/libxml2. Their API differs in some points, but they
both offer XPath and other goodies, maybe they can be made compatible with
a wrapper.
