  Hum, I recently cleaned up the functions exported from libxml.
xmlFileWrite() is one of them, honnestly if you are redefining an IO
layer adding the equivalent of xmlFileWrite() (one line of code) in your
own code is probably more maintainable. And I don't think those kind
of basic IO routine of libxml should really be exported.
