Sadly, no. The other problem that was around was the OrigTree.pm module,
which was there for a while around 0.28 and is now gone. However,
intltool still needs a proper XML parser and they have settled upon this
XML::Parser thing that is apparently semi-standard in Perl land.

This is somewhat annoying, since it introduces a very awkward
installation hurdle (nobody ships XML::Parser by default), but at the
same time, intltool does need to use a proper XML parser, rather than
the reg-ex line-by-line parsing method that was being used previously.
