RE: [xml] CYGWIN compile problems

["EXT-Bozeman, Charles H" <charles h bozeman Boeing com>]

Thanks for the patch; it allows me to compile and install libxml2. However,
I have to define LIBXML_STATIC to link my application with libxml2. libxslt
has the same problem. The patch is necessary, but I question if the test (in
xmlversion.h) for __CYGWIN__ is a reasonable indicator for dynamic linking.
BTW, should xmlversion.h be testing for _MSC_VER? Shouldn't MS compiles be
using xmlwin32version.h?

Can you try the following patch and tell if this fixes it ?
