Re: [xml] undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' error on mingw with msys for 2.6.5

["Mikhail S Grushinskiy" <mgrushinskiy comcast net>]

The problem fixes if I remove defined(IN_LIBXML) condition in xmlexports.h
Not sure why it is needed, but without it everything compiles fine on mingw
with msys.

/* Windows platform with GNU compiler (Mingw) */
#if defined(_WIN32) && defined(__MINGW32__)
  #undef XMLPUBFUN
  #undef XMLPUBVAR
  #undef XMLCALL
/*
  #if defined(IN_LIBXML) && !defined(LIBXML_STATIC)
*/
  #if !defined(LIBXML_STATIC)
    #define XMLPUBFUN __declspec(dllexport)
    #define XMLPUBVAR __declspec(dllexport) extern
  #else
    #define XMLPUBFUN
    #if !defined(LIBXML_STATIC)
      #define XMLPUBVAR __declspec(dllimport) extern
    #else
      #define XMLPUBVAR extern
    #endif
  #endif
  #define XMLCALL __cdecl
  #if !defined _REENTRANT
    #define _REENTRANT
  #endif
#endif
