  Okay I think this was really needed. there was a number of places
where the library needed some reporting due to an error while being
outside the context of parsing or validating (where such callbacks
are already defined).

  I patched a virgin 2.2.6 to redirrect all "out of context" error
messages to a reconfigurable routine. The changes are:
   - in xmlerror.h : I added the export of an error context type (void *)
         an error handler type xmlGenericErrorFunc
         there is an interface
           xmlSetGenericErrorFunc (void *ctx, xmlGenericErrorFunc handler);
         to reset the error handling routine and its argument
     (by default it's equivalent to respectively fprintf and stderr.
   - in all the c files, all wild accesses to stderr or stdout within
     the library have been replaced to the handler.

  The result is a Jumbo Patch of 450KBytes, I saved it at
    ftp://xmlsoft.org/test/messages226.diff

  to avoid filling up everybody mailboxes :-\
