Chrisp,

I had recently worked with Xerces on Windows and for my first impression I
saw that the libraries werent updated. So as I do for every evaluation
work I check their CVS and for my complete amaze I found that the latest
commit was 4 hours before I checked. And not to mention that lots of files
had been modified in the latest 10 days (at that time)... In short Xerces
C++ if far from death, you only have to grab the current sources (as I
did) and recompiling them in your platform... It took me like 20 minutes
to make it work at home, not to mention that I had taken 10 minutes to
review the documentation and took like 7 minutes to build the whole
monster.

Needless to say that I wanted to check a little more though before sending
anything to the list, but well your message got me in the middle of
evaluation.

To me it is always a mistake to rely on prebuilt binaries of every Open
Source library. On Open Source projects you should build your own library.
Windows is a little more library tolerant than Linux so it is easier to
make a library and put it in a devpack, linux is not that programmers
friendly.
