  By default you will have UTF-8 and UTF-16 which are mandatory, and also
the full set of ISO-8859-x (see xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandlersISO8859x
in encoding.c), plus the possibility to connect new handlers at runtime
  http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-encoding.html#xmlNewCharEncodingHandler

How did you build on VxWorks ? Does configure work ? If not could you
post some kind of Howto so that others can benefits too ?

  thanks,

Daniel
