  no problem, note that my reaction was related to not having asked first
before commiting a change to libxml2. The technical problem need to be solved
of course (i.e. this file need to be generated, but Windows users cannot
run configure to generate it, that's why it is in CVS so that Windows CVS
users don't get stuck with a missing file).

  libxml2/include/libxml/xmlwin32version.h[.in] contains the same
kind of set of informations as the one on the libxslt side, is generated
in the same way, and doesn't seems to break jhbuild.
  Is there any special rule applied within jhbuild on one side and not
another ? Couldn't that file be removed or ignored in case of CVS checkout
conflicts ?
