 It is maintained in the sense that I still use it in all projects (still)
using libxml2.

 This is unfortunately very true and it's hard to do anything about it.
Many people have asked about this both and off list but libxml++
maintainers simply don't seem to hear this. I mean, I know that there is
no work being done on libxml++ anyhow but just how hard can it be to apply
a patch introducing a new off by default compilation option? But, again,
libxml++ developers just don't seem to have any interest in making life of
people developing under Windows easier -- and sometimes it seems quite the
contrary.
