i agree but am wondering how this would fit with no-(api/api) changes
policy... all new APIs using file descriptors?

also, while on topic of APIs, the fact that extension registeration
functions don't take the hash to register the extension in as an 
argument, but instead register to global xmlHashes means folks wanting
to using plugins MUST dynamically link libxslt into the plugin.
would we ever want to fix that? not sure...
