Re: libxml2 support

Emacs has a very simple interface to some libxml2 functionality. It is used by gnus, and also for D-Bus support. It looks like a simple port to an XEmacs module. Attached is a candidate patch, for discussion purposes. There are no changelog entries or documentation updates in it, but those will be forthcoming when I propose this for inclusion. A few of the changes need explaining. The libxml2 headers define ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, and their definition clashes with ours, hence the change to src/compiler.h. A few more symbols need to be exposed to modules. Also, I need to pass -I/usr/include/libxml2 in CPPFLAGS on Fedora, but CPPFLAGS wasn't being passed down to module builds. Finally, I'm not totally happy with the way I have to convert a portion of a buffer to a Lisp string, and then convert the Lisp string to an externally encoded block of memory. Is there some way of skipping that middle step, and producing a memory block in an external encoding from a portion of a Lisp buffer? I couldn't find one.
