Definitely not outdated plug-in source but maybe different
versions of libxml? (win32 version is libxml2-2.4.2)
Looking deeper into it shows an #ifdef'ed 0 implementation
of xmlNewGlobalNs () in libxml2. So I'm pretty sure it's a
cross platform issue. Anyone taking it ?

Just checked: at least is is neither in my dia zip file nor linked
on the RC1 page. If there is a vesion available it is either outdated,
created by someone else or still on my harddisk ;-)

Please don't even think about including a whole Python in the Dia
setup. IMHO the Python plug-in isn't that useful at the moment 
anyway without being able to read and extend the C sources ...
