  this option was useful when having very large text node because growing
that node at parse time was not done efficiently.
  This has been fixed a few revision ago.
  Maintaining this is time consuming and error prone, it also messes up the
code a bit by forcing #ifdef ... #else #endif each time a node content
buffer is accessed. Currently this version brokes XPointer and has a couple
of memory leaks.
  Considering that the reason for this option have vanished and that I would
prefer to focuse on improving the main code than maintaining this, I'm asking
if there is still active users of this option. If no I will be happy
to remove it. If yes it could be a good idea to test if their code could
be switched to using the normal buffer handling.

  thanks,

Daniel
