While I would welcome the reduction in build dependencies, I really wonder if time wouldn't be better spent making libxml2 better so that all projects that use it could benefit. Does libxml2 suffer from architectural/design issues that mean that throwing it out would be a better option than just fixing the problems with it? -Brent _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
