  yes, defintely. I knew this but I wasn't sure how much work will be
  needed, because there is new APIs etc ... I think I will make an rc1
snapshot next week where this, the API xml and the symbol files will be
fixed.
  BTW the error constants and such things should rather be extracted
from libxml2-api.xml rather than doing HTML data extraction :-)
