Hey Philip,
No, I'm not sure what the exact problems there were. The pre-
processing sounds like a good route for now!

Thanks again Dan for giving me the heads up that 0.6.0 doesn't
include libxml2.
I presume that when Artem had problems compiling, he found some
issue with the win32 distribution at http://xmlsoft.org/sources/
win32/ Any idea what the problem was. I *might* be able to persuade
a colleague to take a look - if I can just tweak his curiosity
enough...
Meanwhile I'll find some way to preprocess my entity laden mapfile.

I expect I'm doing something stupid! Can anyone tell me what it
might be? My Google searches suggest that this effect is caused when
mapnik is not built with libxml2 (which seems unlikely in the
published distribution.)
Libxml2 (and hence entities) are not available in the win32
binaries. Sorry about that - it is surely a highly requested feature.
The Mapnik 0.6.0 release marked the first release where libxml2 (vs.
other parsers mapnik previously used) was switched to be the default
- because XML Entities are so handy.
Artem, who built the Win32 binaries ran into compilation problems,
so the current parser in the WIN32 binaries is till TinyXML.
If anyone is up for trying to get (and documenting the steps) to get
libxml2 static libraries build on windows, that might help when we
hit the next release.
