   Hum, I think we tried to follow the behaviour from C# XmlTextReader
interface, maybe we missed that when going over comparison with Stephane
Bidoul. Do you want to see the entities declarations or references ?

  Hum, so far we have only numbers there. Seems that C# defines them as enums
too:

  http://dotgnu.org/pnetlib-doc/System/Xml/XmlNodeType.html

maybe we should define an enum (but possibly change the names, at least
uppercase and prefix them).

  Hum, right I should have added this to configure.in ...
