You get compressed xml files and xmllint will parse them?
Then libz support is included.

Sounds like a broken gzip (probably only -c is affected).
If you compress to a file, can you decompress the file?

Did you try 'gzip <file>' and parse the created <file>.gz file?

Sorry I have few experience with windows and none with gzip/libxml on
windows.

There is such an option in xmllint. Have a look at it's sources to
see how it is done in the api.
