Hey,
I have had another thought. Can we add options to include Xalan / Pathan during the build? Either by pointing to where they are or even downloading them? XPath support is frequently asked for and there is no chance we will have it soon.

Good job James!
One of the things I hate about the current structure is that I am forced to run runConfigure with the same arguments three times, for the sources, the samples and the tests. Will the new ./configure be placed in the "c" folder and automatically generate the three Makefiles?

Just to keep a little excitement going here, I've got a bit of status on one of the projects for "Xerces 3".
Xerces is building and running tests in a generic autotools-style build using autoconf/automake/libtool!
- Uses a single large automake generated makefile to build the entire Xerces src directory.
- Additional automake makefiles for obj, tests, (and samples)
Some benefits of these can be seen already:
- the end of runConfigure: ./configure knows how to pick the compiler and recognize the platform and other attributes.
- the end of XERCESCROOT: Test programs are generated with shell-wrappers by libtool to do this for you.
- Support for auto-selection of missing functions, (stricmp, etc.)
- Built-in support for creation of dist archives.
This can't be, and won't be, completed until we move to svn, fork the trunk, and start work on refactoring more of the platform-level support, but it's a hopeful start.
