Yes, they should, it is just that we have places in libexslt which need
xmlversion.h to exist, even if it is a MS compile. My exams are hopefully
over in two weeks and than I should really sit down and clean these things
out.

At the time being, xmlversion.h and xmlwin32version.h are identical on MS
compile. They were not before, but they evolved in that direction. Perhaps
one should be removed?
