  I assume you don't have sh and configure capabilities for your target,
if that was the case just configure with a target cross compiler with
the set of options you want.

  Well, a C compiler is needed, a decent libc will help, desactivate 
everything you don't need, possibly by writing your own config.h .
You could look at win/wince compatibily stuff, or the one in the 
macos/ subdir. The specificconfig.h will just state what should or should not
be included, see config.h in the main dir and how config-mac.h is included
and otherwise the normal libxml/xmlversion.h . The trio stuff is a portable
rewrite of the *printf functions which tends to be broken on some libcs.

  Have fun !
