RE: [xml] Compiling libxml2 as DLL under Cygwin

["Robert Collins" <robert collins itdomain com au>]

On cygwin, install the autotools -dev versions - that is libtool,
autoconf and automake.

Grab the -src packages from via setup.exe, and then replace the source
archives with the verison you want to build - the patchs should apply to
all the source files, but may fail on Makefile.in's and configure.

Then rrename the build script that is placed in /usr/src, and the patch,
to be for the cversion you are building. Then go for it.

That should let you get places. I'll be upgrading the libx* packages in
the next day or so anyway.
