Re: [xml] XPath Regression Fails on Win32 for libxml2-2.6.19

[Mark Vakoc <thevakoc-xml yahoo com>]

Um, I wrote those a while ago while playing with windows cmd scripting to mimic
the *nix shell equivalents with the hope of having make tests run on win32
also.  Since then I've probably used 10+ versions of libx.* and frankly haven't
run those tests once, so no shock if it's broken.  

I can't validate if those proposed changes are correct or not, it would be a
good exerciise to properly implement the existing regression test on win32, but
I rely on my own tests instead.  If someone cares about this they should speak
up, otherwise a disclaimer is perhaps in order, b/c to be honest I don't use
'em and the implementation certainly isn't maintained.
