Wow,
the documentation is wrong about expat. Formerly the expat parser was a
part of the Sablotron source tree, hence the mismatch. i'll fix it.
Requrements for sablotron and expat are very simple to understand.
1. To run Sablotron, XML::Sablotron you need expat.dll and sablotron.dll
on your path. Nothing else.
2. To compile Sablotron, you need expat.h and expat.lib somewhere, where
the compiler can fint them (LIS and INCLUDE environment)
3. To compile XML::Sablotron you need 2) plus sablotron.h, shandler.h
and sablotron.lib in corect locations.
