The second one is OK to ignore (I just missed a CONST84
in the Tcl 8.4 constification process), but the first one
might be a problem -- the function signature for doctype
handlers changed between expat 1.2 and 1.95.  (That said,
I've been using tcldompro with expat 1.95 for quite a while
now without seeing any problems.  Then again I rarely use
<!DOCTYPE ...> declarations, so YMMV.)

I've just committed a new version of tdpExpat.c and other
relevant files to make it compile cleanly with expat 1.95.

That's correct; the tcldom/src codebase is independant of
the rest of TclXML / TclDOM.  (It does share the test suite
and documentation, although those have diverged considerably.)
