OK. Thanks, I'll fix that.

For RedHat7 I have removed the recompilation note for perl. I'm loathe
to put this in the README, because the list is long. How about putting
it in a file called INSTALL? That's pretty standard, and I would think
that people would look there for info on how to install. Especially if
the README says:
INSTALL
========
See the INSTALL file for information on how to install Xerces.pm on
your architecture.
And then I can put a note explaing each architecture.

Hmmm... I have never built a threaded perl, and it's not the sort of
thing you do by mistake. Likewise, I haven't built a non-threaded
version of Xerces-C, because it hasn't worked until recently, and the
default on linux is pthreads...
Dunno.
