Well, I didn't look at the code (so please, forgive me if I'm wrong) but there must be a
way of doing this initialization via a static data structure (since its size is known at the
compilation step) so that the space allocated for it would be released as soon as
the program exit and without any explicit call.

Well this is well known, and basically this memory is allocated
when initializing the global encoding infrastructure for the parser.
This sums up as 241 bytes, so I negelected it for the moment,
the proper way to do it would be to provide a cleanup fonction
to be called at the end of the usage of the XML library.
I will try to implement it but applications will have to explicitely
call it at the end of processing ,
