 Is there a very small XML passer?

I can find libace5.4 in Ubuntu hoary.  There are other small XML parser
libraries as well.

 Could you use a small web such as AppWeb?

That appears to be a HTTP daemon.  OpenWRT comes with some other one.  I'm
not sure why you need a web server on the WRT if it's just pushing messages
off at another server.  A bit of script and something like neon or curl
should suffice for pushing XML fragments to some other server.

If people are just pushing XML then there's also no need for
a XML parser on the WRT.  printf xml ...\n works fine.
