Re: [libxml++] Installing for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

Thanks, Christophe!  I ended up just installing iconv, libxml2, libxslt, and
libxml++, using this patch.  I agree with Murray that the typedef is a bit
clumsy, but what is one person supposed to do?  I had a number of other
issues, specifically getting configure to work and getting symbols to export
(Finally figured out what gendef is for!).  Seems to work!
