Attached then yet another patch against libglade-2.0.1 [*] that introduces a --without-libxml2 option for ./configure. The code has been re-arranged to be as little invasive as possible (introducing some inefficiencies due to the need to wrap the attributes arrays into the format used by libxml2's sax parser though). I think it is worth mentioning that the core difference between using libxml2 and GMarkupParser in glade-parser.c comes down to probably around 50-100 lines of simple and straight-forward code now. Most of the patch deals with decompressing gzipped .glade files/buffers. Which means that either way no one is "betting the whole farm" on anything here :-) Given the lack of enthusiam here for my idea to use GMarkupParser instead, I am not sure whether it's a good idea to fold this stuff into the code tree, especially given that it's only been tested by me so far. But if anyone wants to play around with it, here it is. Cheers -Tim [*] the patch also applies against libglade-2.3.x, with the exception of the configure.in stuff, which is easy enough to copy'n'paste into the 2.3.x configure.in file.
