I have to confess I am not running directly MSYS/MINGW. I am using cygwin
and compiling for mingw using gcc -mno-cygwin. In this case it pretty much
behaves like a normal Windows system, but without having _CYGWIN_ defined.

When I am compiling with the definitions like in revision 1.10 it 
compiles all
very well but when using it in some applications the xmlFree() function is
not accessible it mostly points to invalid memory regions... The real cause
is hard to track down.

Hope we can sort this out soon...
