That would be a good idea, patches could also go via David.

That wasn't that plan , if so i would have written my own lib :-)

The DLL part might be tricky ? Does anybody else have experiance
building
DLL's without __declspec(dllexport) ? specific includes can go
in the winconfig.h (config.h what ever :-) The network functions (mainly
the nano
FTP/HTTPD stuff might be unavoidable to be changed a bit, to handle the
return values
correctly) but thats rather isolated in one or two files, and not
touching much of the
actual XML lib.

I can do testing on NT, 98 and 2K and Linux at home (to check if we
don't break
anything on UNIX :-)
