Are you sure that's what's being expressed? Because that's not how I read it. I read it as "the distribution used to provide a debug version of the parser, which we need for our debug builds, but it's no longer there." > The expression "you're damned if you do, you're damned if > you don't" comes to mind here. :) Fortunately, judging by > list traffic, while building the parser is something of a > chore on Unices, folks don't have too much trouble on Windows. I think you are grossly over-estimating the confusion regarding two distinct binaries in the Windows distribution. I really believe this is going to create far more confusion and trouble than it saves, because Windows is the only platform for which you need a debug Xerces-C executable to build debug versions of your applications. That makes it a very different beast than the Unices, and makes the Windows binary distribution fairly useless, as far as I'm concerned. I know this will affect the Xalan-C distributions, because it will force us to create our own Xerces-C binaries so we can still distribute our debug binaries, which we must do. Please consider putting it back in.
