Yes, I believe it is, although I am not certain.

I used a pre-built version of libxml2 that I downloaded (I think) from
here:

   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/R215x.html
   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/goodies/multilib/Old/local215.zip

I speculate that

   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/goodies/multilib/local300.zip

is a newer version, but I haven't looked at it.

My copy of local215.zip has both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I got it
specifically to get the 64-bit version, but from what you said about
your compiler, you would probably want the 32-bit version.

Assuming that you're using the 32-bit mingw windows port of gcc,
I would guess that the pre-built 32-bit version in the above download
would work for you.  (I don't know this for a fact, but c code -- which
libxml is -- is reasonably likely to be object-code compatible from
one compiler version to another.)

The use of libxml is activated in a handful of files by ifdef's keyed off
of "HAVE_LIBXML".  You'll need to turn on these ifdef code paths
one way or another.
