As I don´t know who is going to use my library and how (wheter the process will be using libxml by his own or 
not), if one process loads, uses and unloads my library several times, the memory leak would be cumulative?

In case it's cumulative, it's there the posibility to have xmlCleanupParser() be called when libxml unloads? 
(like in the destructor/Dllmain, or atexit in libxml itself?)
