Ok, I have added a new function call to the parser API:
void xmlCleanupParser (void);
http://rpmfind.net/veillard/XML/gnome-xml-parser.html#XMLCLEANUPPARSER
its goal is to free the extra memory that was allocated for parsing
processing (independantly of the documents memory). Call it once
you know you won't do anymore parsing in your application. For the moment
it just calls xmlCleanupCharEncodingHandlers() which will free
the encoding handler stucture registered at startup.
It's commited in the CVS bases.
