Tim,

What you've done is a big improvement over 2.2.3 - thank you very much!
Perhaps for 2.3.1 if the issues with libxml2 are not resolved - I
personally think they should be resolved by libxml2 maintainers, the
problems with MinGW libxml2 seem to have been going on since 2004 from
what I've found by googling it, if those issues are not resolved we
might have an option for excluding libxml-related formats? I have no use
for them anyhow.

Best regards,
Igor
