  I went to http://www.softintegration.com/ but wasn't able to find
out the Licence under which the Ch environment is released. It's 
kind of annoying, I would not be too fond to promote a closed source
solution. On the other hand the work done by chlibxml2 authors
seems nice, but the Licence for Ch is unclear to me and not explained
in any FAQ I could find on their site. A free binary environment would
unfortunately be very similar to the Java trap IMHO...
