  If the code works on BSD I don't see why it would not work on Linux...

However if your users compile against libxml1 include and link against
libxml2, sure it's gonna crash sooner than later, add the required check
to prevent this as described in the upgrade online doc:
   http://xmlsoft.org/upgrade.html

----------
4.add a LIBXML_TEST_VERSION macro somewhere in your main() or in the library init entry point 
----------

  And in your configure use xml2-config to find the include and link options.

  Tell them to upgrade to recent versions of libxml2 (-devel) so that
libxml1 and libxml2 development environment can coexist gracefully.

  Of course I can write docs, give explanations on the list, but if people
don't read the doc and don't subcribe, the effect is rather limited :-(
