About libxml: I was thinking of the age-old issue of writing styles and
configs and menus in XML. But that issue is prone to be a can of worms so
I won't press it.

About fontconfig: if Blackbox already uses Fontconfig, can we select
fonts in the styles with the FC format? I mean, "Arial 10" instead of
-misc-arial-*-*-....*-iso8859-1
