Libxml2 (and hence entities) are not available in the win32 binaries. Sorry about that - it is surely a highly requested feature. The Mapnik 0.6.0 release marked the first release where libxml2 (vs. other parsers mapnik previously used) was switched to be the default - because XML Entities are so handy. Artem, who built the Win32 binaries ran into compilation problems, so the current parser in the WIN32 binaries is till TinyXML. If anyone is up for trying to get (and documenting the steps) to get libxml2 static libraries build on windows, that might help when we hit the next release.
