It appears as though some classes are missing from the Win32 lib ( CommandOption, Dir, XMLStream, etc ). Are there plans on adding these classes into the Win32 lib? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks-

There are two choices here which I have not yet experimented with. One would be to port the GNOME libxml2 library to win32, which might be feasable. The other would be to build a similar wrapper class for the existing MS XML parsing DLL, although I do not know if it allows for intercepting I/O methods the way libxml2 does.

This libxml2 - http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libxml2.htm? It looks like someone has already ported it. I am unfamilar with this particular xml parser. Is it just a SAX parser, or does it have additional functionality?
I would recommend not using the MSXML parser. Its COM based ( obviously ) and the SAX interface is a little bit funky to use.

Using the posix tree required the cgwin.dll, correct? I would rather not use the posix interfaces in win32 ( for stability and performance uses ), but I guess it's better than nothing.
I have been playing around with the win32 libxml library and it appears to work fine. I will look and see if it just drop in.

If one uses the "posix" source tree under win32, then one doesnt need to directly deal with the issue of win32 support for XML at all...

If it also compiles directly under Visual Studio/MSC 6, then this could be an ideal portable solution.
