If I submitted a patch to add a hasXmlDeclaration field to the
xmlParserCtxt struct would you consider merging it? :)

(It would also be possible to add a SAX callback to be called when the XML
declaration is parsed, but this seems like overkill for such a small thing
and would require changing the SAX struct which is a bad thing).

Cheers,
