Re: [xml] Entities defined using other entities

[christophe barbe <cbarbe obj-sys com>]

That makes perfect sense.
The doc http://xmlsoft.org/entities.html only suggests to use
xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(). Looking at xmllint source, I found out
that both xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault and XML_PARSE_NOENT were used. 
Also in this document, the second command line has ./tester instead
of ./xmllint.

Thanks for the help and for libxml2,
Christophe
