Re: [Rlib-devel] RLIB 1.2.1 Patch

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Warren and Jeremy,

I merged in the XML input part of your patch.  The PSLIB part is no
longer necessary because of RPDF (GPL'd pdf creator built in to RLIB)

There was only one problem w/ the XML datasource where it required a
datasource per XML file.  This is not correct as the datasource should
be able to service multiple XML files similar to how the MySQL
datasource can handle multiple queries.

I also did up all the language bindings for it.

The attached patch is what I actually merged

Thanks Guys!
