[xml] LIBXML2/LIBXSLT/XSLTPROC on VMS

[Nigel Hall <nigel hall misys com>]

Using libxml 20428, libxslt 10023 and libexslt 714
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20428, libxslt 10023 and libexslt 714
libxslt 10023 was compiled against libxml 20428
libexslt 714 was compiled against libxml 20428

I have built recent versions of libxml2/libxslt on VMS.  After a few
problems.

I run a transformation using xsltproc to generate HTML.

Everything works as expected except for the format of output.

In a browser HTML looks like this:

< H T M L > < H E A D > < m e t a h t t p - e q u i v = " C o n t e n t - T
y p e " c o n t e n t = " t e x t / h t m l ; c h a r s e t = I S O - 8 8 5
9 - 1 " > 

In an editor it is one character per line, like this:

<
H
T
M
L
>

<
H
E
A
D
>

<
m
e
t
a

A file dump looks like this:

Virtual block number 1 (00000001), 512 (0200) bytes

I have tried various encoding settings but they have no effect.

Any ideas ?
