Re: [Vala] libxml2 bindings question Node.child_element_count()

[Evan Nemerson <evan coeus-group com>]

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure the Freemantle libxml2 is stripped
down. It is probably just old. It looks like xmlChildElementCount was
added with [1], so I don't think it would be available before 2.7.3.
What version does Freemantle ship?
