  Yes you could register your own set of I/O file handlers see
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlIO.html#xmlRegisterInputCallbacks
and
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlIO.html#xmlRegisterOutputCallbacks

  just a couple of wrapper functions detecting the fact it's a Windows
file path, and associated open, read/write, close functions hould do the
trick.

  There is an example for registering specific input callbacks
    http://xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html#io1.c
