Whoa! No way! You're the first person to report success on
Windows. That's cool!
I'd really recommend upgrading your Perl to 5.8.x, Xerces relies
heavily on Perl's Unicode support and it was pretty buggy in 5.6.

Hmmm. I'll talk to the Xerces-C people about this.
I'll add a hints file for Windows - could you tell me what the output
of $^O (the operating system variable) is?

OK.

OK.

Yes, this is gnu make syntax, I'll add an exception for windows.

This one I don't understand.

There's probably a linker flag that tells it where the library is
located at runtime - if you find that out, I'll include it in the
windows help file.

Yeah, this is I/O redirection on Unix - I'll test, I may not need this.

Hmmm... Not sure about this one - that message comes from my exception
handler getting some exception that it can't deal with and killing
Xerces. It seems that almost all the methods are failing - I'd be
surprised if you could write an application that works.
Looks like there's some more debugging needed.
Thanks for the report!
