That is right, libxml2 is unrelated to mingw-w64, so there is no bundle
for it.

Yes, you can use Ruben's GCC builds to build them. At the moment, they
are the recommended downloads if you want to run GCC on Windows without
MSYS or Cygwin.

On the side note, std::thread builds make pthread necessary, I'm not
sure how you feel about adding dependencies.

Not really, msxml may work out of the box with mingw-w64 if the headers
are already deciphered by the developers. If it comes out of the box
with Windows or Visual Studio, chances are it is already in mingw-w64.
