I am using libXML with C++ and I have found that my code is very ugly
due to reinterpret_cast's all over the place. The problem seems to
be that xmlChar is an unsigned char and my c style strings are signed
char's. So for example, to use xmlGetProp my commands look like this:

xmlwidth = xmlGetProp(node,
                      reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char *>
                      ("width"));

Is there a cleaner way to interact with xmlChar's without doing casts
for all of it's occurances?

Also, is there a way to read and write numerics in the tree with
libXML without using atoi and itoa?
