  Just my tuppence;  we do use embedded Linux but our stuff always has a 
fair whack of RAM.  I don't know whether libxml can be cut back or not, I'd 
sort of guess not.

  The libxml2.so on my box here is 1.3M (plus 75K for libz).  That's a fair 
old chunk of 32M, so really it's only you who can make the call as to 
whether you'll need that.

  If your needs are truly basic, and you're wary of the size, a simple 
custom job might be the way to go;  I'd be inclined to go with libxml & hope 
it fits, but keeping the use to a minimum in case I needed to implement it 
myself at the end.
