Re: [xml] CYGWIN compile problems

["Robert Collins" <robert collins itdomain com au>]

Charles,
    Run setup.exe from cygwin.com, and tick the 'src' box for libxml
there.

If you need the latest and greatest, give me a coupla days and I'll have
updated my patch kit.

Cygwin _does_ support .dll's, but the libtool version needed to support
them is not released (yet).
