Christophe, thank you for the reply! It looks like you are still
further along than I am, I finally got libxml2 to build by not building
it with zlib support. I hope that won't break pan but we will see...
I am now getting this error when trying to build PAN now that I got
passed the problem with building version 2.6.2 of libxml:

This error occurs with Libxml-2.6.2.
WSAStartup, gethostbyaddr and the rest all seem to be provided by
winsock2.h, but even adding #include <winsock2.h> to sockets.c and
sockets.h did not seem to help. I tried hacking around but this
basically exhausted my limited programming ability. ;-)
I will look deeper into it tomorrow but any tips would be greatly
appreciated!

Well I wish I could say that I was successful but I have been unable to
compile libxml2... I walked away from it for a few days out of
frustration but I will pick it back up sometime this weekend.
Can't you pick the package available at [1] ? Unfortunately, it's way
too MSVC-centric, and if I remember well, almost useless: no libtool
file, archive libs have to be renamed, no pkg-config file, no xml2Conf
to get in yet another way the pathes and to top it all, missing
exported symbols. You could get packages I build using mingw: libxml2
2.6.23 [2] which depends on libiconv 1.10 [3]. I'm usually building
them with --enable-shared --enable-static --disable-rpath --enable-nls
(so they might need gettext dlls too, but I'm not sure).
The drawback is that if you use Tor Lillqvist's GTK+/... packages [4],
which don't have versioning in his dlls, will yield a double
dependency for instance on iconv.dll and libiconv-2.dll. I found no
way to force libiconv build setup into submission and remove this
versioning so that the ones you compile can replace the ones provided
by Lillqvist.
of the larger binary groups. Right now he is running Agent but he would
like to use PAN and this is an interesting Challenge for me. If I do
manage to get it done and if Charles doesn't mind I will host the
installer somewhere for people to download if they want to test the CVS
version on Windows.
I'm currently able to build the CVS version. Unfortunately, as W2000
is not IPv6-happy, I had to hack into pan some support:
- patch available at [5] using legacy functions
- get the IPv6 technology preview for win2K and make an import lib out
of the dll (using pexports and dlltool as explained at [6])
Any solution I pick, the pan binary launches. When I try to update any
newsgroup, the application just sits there, sometimes hanging for a
few seconds. Some months ago, it was at last starting to get some
articles, but was timing out quickly.
I hope it will work out better for you.
