Unfortunately, my reason for wanting to see this is because of a need
for packaging simplifications in other projects. The goal being that
Xerces-c unpack become a non-issue, and not require special steps for
users that want to unpack, configure, build, install. Since it is
required in both Linux and win32, both the install prefix bug and the
directory structure need to be updated before this can happen. Knowing
it will eventually be fixed is a great aid, but the best way to deal
with it also depends on timing.

I am curious how much IBM is involved in this? I known they've done a
lot with java, JFS, and a few other things to use linux with e-commerce,
but I hadn't heard anything about involvement directly with Apache or
Xerces-c. (just curious)
