RLIB works by having data sources (MYSQL, POSTGRESQL, ODBC, Custom)

You Implement a "Class" that provides basic methods

Then you call

rlib_add_datasource(rlib_pointer_here, "Some Name", POINTER_TO_CLASS
HERE);

I attached the patch that Warren sent me.  You can see how he
implemented the XML Input class.

Maybe you can try to work w/ Warren to get the XML Input method included
in the RLIB Source tree.
