 Yes, sorry I was wrong about this. Just Glib and libsigc++. But this is
still too much especially as I still don't understand the reason for it.

 But _how_ does it matter? If it does, my patch must be breaking something
but I spend a lot of time reading the code and I couldn't find any place
where it did matter.

 Ok, then I'll still add libxml++/xmlstring.h header but it will just
include <glibmm/ustring.h> but not define xmlpp::String.

 I'll post it to the bugzilla a.s.a.p., thanks in advance,
