MSVCP60.dll is something that Microsoft distributes with their operating 
systems.  Although we could legally re-distribute it, we don't do that.  The 
other issue is that you shouldn't attempt to link applications built with MSVC 
7.0 against libraries built with earlier versions, as you'll end up with 
multiple run-time libraries.  You should rebuild Xalan under 7.0 if you want to 
use it in this manner.

The only problem with defined XALAN_XALANDOMCHAR_USHORT_MISMATCH is that it 
will result in inefficient transcoding.  We need to coordinate a fix for this 
with Xerces, so that we use wchar_t on platforms where it is a distinct type, 
it's a 16-bit value, and we know that it contains Unicode code points.  AIX is 
one such platform, and Windows will be with MSVC 7.0.

Your best bet for the time being is to disable wchar_t as a distinct type.  
There's an option to do this so that it's compatible with 6.0.
