dumpbin says that the produced libxml2.dll does *not* export 
xmlCharInRange; neither it is mentioned in libxml2.lib.

I checked the compile messages once again and found the following:
--------------
chvalid.c
..\chvalid.c(163) : warning C4028: formal parameter 2 different from 
declaration
--------------

in chvalid.c we got:

xmlCharInRange (unsigned int val, xmlChRangeGroupPtr rptr)

in chvalid.h we got:

XMLPUBFUN int XMLCALL
                xmlCharInRange(unsigned int val, const xmlChRangeGroupPtr group)

Note the different argument names "rptr" & "group" in both functions.
Could that be the reason why the function is not exported?
