That's what I am working on.
I am a debian dev. but not the maintainer of libxml++.
I want to prepare a package for 0.27 and send it to the maintainer so
that if he doesn't have much time to do it, he would just have to review
it and upload it.

The names fo the binary packages are:
libgal1, libgal2, libgal2, ....

That's it. So I will try to build 0.27 with libio statically linked.
Is it already fixed in CVS ?

Sorry I have not been clear at the beginning.
