I haven't start on the coding yet but I'm looking into libxml2 or qt dom 
parser.

Since you don't have control what can be installed, it's probably best to go 
with the independent route.   Performance shouldn't be an issue.  I believe 
I/O is still the bottleneck in terms of parsing.

Perhaps you have a good reason to use xml for config files, but personally I 
don't see the need to.  I rather spend more of my time developing the next 
big thing.
