[xml] xmllint for unit testing

[Stefan Kost <kost imn htwk-leipzig de>]

hi all,

a simple but effective suggestion for all who have xml files part of their
projects and using the auto-tools.

1.) make directory 'tests' (if there is not yet alreay one) and enter it
2.) write a Makefile.am containing :
TESTS = xmlvalid.sh
3.) wite xmlvalid.sh containg :
#!/bin/sh
# test validity of xml files

xmllint --noout --valid ../<path_to_xml_files>/*.xml
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1; fi

4.) go back to yout project root and type :
make check

when having files without a dtd, just leave out the '--valid' to do
well-formed-ness checking at least.

Ciao
  Stefan
