Hello folks,
XML sucks, but I would like to write suckless code for a project that
requires reading in someone elses XML. Is there an XML library that others
have used that sucks-less than rest? libxml2 currently looks ahead of the
pack and has few dependencies, despite its gnome pedigree.

authors with JSON. It fits my

This is a followup to last months "music db editor" thread:

An option makes sense, but should it be compile time or runtime?

On MacOS 10.9, strlcat and strncat are defined as macros, and adding
