[ examines xml2/Makefile ... ] Yeah, sure looks that way. Will fix.
Even more interesting would be to fix things so that xml2 gets built as
part of the regular contrib build, but I'm not sure if we're ready to
add stuff to the configure script for the sole benefit of a contrib
module. I'd be more willing to do it if there were a long-term plan for
putting libxml-dependent code into the core. Do we have a roadmap yet
for XML development? I thought there was a session at the anniversary
conference devoted to sketching one, but if anything came out of that
I missed it.
Me too.
Part of the trouble is that support for the standard will require
support in the parser, so we need to decide if we want to go down that
road. Personally I think we should, but it would make a significant
change from what we have available now. Peter seemed a bit more
ambivalent about it, though.
