[xml] xmlParserHandleReference anyone?

["Peter Jacobi" <pj walter-graphtek com>]

Hi Daniel, All,

OK, I would like to go through parser.c and parserInternals.c
to remove the obsolote ctxt->token code.

So this is the last call, if Daniel agrees:

***
*** Does anybody still use xmlParserHandleReference in 
*** some ante-diluvian code?

Remember, that this would imply, that you modify xmllib2 sources,
because in recent versions of libxml2 the body of 
xmlParserHandleReference is disabled by an #if 0 block
and the only thing the function does is giving a warning.

Peter Jacobi
