It might be nice to figure out how to use the same build
infrastructure everyone else does, but in the meantime you can use
the [.vms]build_libxml.com procedure.  I haven't updated it since
last fall, and I see it needs some work.  The build procedure itself
is easy enough to update but the sources need some fixing in order to
make the rather picky DEC/Compaq/hp C compiler happy.  I will try to
attend to that at some point but am a bit swamped at the moment, so
for now I'll just list the compilation errors below.  Most are
signed/unsigned nits that can be fixed with casting, but some (like
the array bounds in relaxng.c) may be actual coding errors.
