I know but from what I saw they already have a mess of xml libs
across their department tools (I know of at least expat and xerces,
others might be hidden in the closet ;-)).
So adding another one is just a minor nuance ;-)) I don't expect that
they cleaned it since I last saw it ;-)

You missed the cpan provided perl bindings, but IIRC libxml2 has them
too ;-)).

that gave me a short 'Holy sh**' moment too. I'll check it in detail
because from the win download and from what Patrik said it is not so
clear how much and exactly how they depend on glib.

I basically can live with it as the SAX interface I want is there so it
might be easier I switch. I see the point of having higher level
interfaces even without needing them myself ;-)
So it's time for Johannes to haunt us a little bit ;-)
