[xml] Build DOM tree manually from ASCII file and getting data into xmlChar

[Steve Williams <swilliams rinax com>]

Hi,

I am reading a (non-xml) file and building the DOM tree manually using 
xmlNewDoc, xmlNewDocNode, xmlNewChild (per the sample on the web site).

I am confused how I get input that I read into a char * array into an 
xmlChar* buffer...

Right now, I am using BAD_CAST to force the issue, but I need to do it 
"right" for deployment as I may be getting french characters in the 
input file...

I'm new to the libxml2, but wow, is it ever great!

Thanks,
Steve Williams
