Michael, we are not aware of any successful port of Sablotron to BSD, although several people have tried. At http://www.gingerall.com/archives/sablot/msg00062.html you can find some of our correspondence with Andrew McNaughton who had the promising idea of using autoconf for Sablotron. I attach another message quoting what some others wrote about FreeBSD. We did modify a few declarations in the expat headers and sort of forgot about it, but it's clearly desirable to use the standard distribution of expat, probably with a makefile of our own. We'll make the change when time permits. However I think the modifications are quite innocent, so Sablotron ought to work with your copy of expat as well if you are willing to hack the makefile.
