Taking a quick look at the docs there seems to be little difference
between the 1 and 2 APIs. Do you know why the major version change was
done? Are there major deficiencies in 1?

I would like to avoid glibmm dependencies, as there is no glibmm
package, you have to use the full GTK/GTK+ one. That would be quite  a
burden for people wanting to compile OpenSG on Windows... :(

I see that there is a patch being discussed in the libxml++ mailing list
that removes the glibmm dependency. But it's nasty: it typedef's
glib::ustring as std::string... 

I'll try to get an update on what's going on there, in the worst case I
think we can just keep our own version of it.

Anybody else with objections to libxml2/libxml++?

        Dirk
