Yes, but never assume anything with newbies :-), and I'm configuring 
both libxml2 and libxslt with the '--with-threads --with-thread-alloc' 
options. In fact, I discovered that doing so consumes considerably less 
memory than running with the default configuration. For the one test I 
analyzed (the "Hello, World!" example from page 22 of Doug Tidwell's 
XSLT book), using the default lib configurations resulted in 446,153 
bytes allocated, while using libs configured with the thread options 
resulted in only 84,791 bytes allocated. This seemed kind of surprising, 
but may make perfect sense to you all who have been working with this 
for so long.
