[Xml2hostconf-users] a newer version of xmllint recommended

[Erik <eri...@ho...>]

A bug was found in xmllint that is now fixed ( 2004-06-08 ):
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143880
If you have an xmllint with this bug, the "make validate" rule will just
produce error messages if your xml2hostconf configuration files are
non-valid. The return value will be a success, though.

The consequence of this bug is that if you have an old xmllint ( i.e.
older than 2004-06-08 ) you cannot rely on xml2hostconf own checking
that your configuration files follow the correct xml schema.

An alternative way to write valid configuration files is by using the
nxml-mode in emacs when you edit the configuration files.

But if you feel confident that you write correct configuration files
you have nothing to worry about, xml2hostconf will produce correct
output just as normal.
