May I respectfully nominate Erwin?
Here is why:
I am not a software person. I am a geologist/geotechnical engineer trying to
use computers to solve some sticky physical problems related to discontinuous
rock masses. I am using libxml to ease the pain of parsing nasty numerical
modeling input data. Software engineer I am not. More importantly, I am trying
to "dissertate" and get out of here. What I can do is generate some patches
against future releases (see previous post) on an msvc build, but I really
would be very uncomfortable "validating" any patches sent to me.
I do think it is very worthwhile to ensure libxml or at least a useful
subset build cleanly under any and all win32 compilers (ms, borland, etc).
This gives people an option to *not* link against ms xml, which will
make it easier to port back to unix in the future.
I will continue to build and provide a msvc setup no matter what though.
I have had enough feedback (off list) to make the worthwhile. People
are using it.
Thanks for the consideration, and here's a toast to "subverting" MS on its on own
ground using its own tools... ;)
