  libxml will stick as much as possible to the POSIX standard.
If supporting WIN32 means adding a lot of mess and dropping
adherence to that standard, then I won't accept patches for this.

  The config.h file is auto generated this is the result of the
configure processing. It should not be hacked specifically for WIN32
hence the winconfig.h stuff.

  Send patches, if they are a mess w.r.t. the POSIX API I will reject
them, if they don't uglyfy the code (or fix stuff) then I will accept
them.
