Re: [xslt] Windows build

Igor,

  I truly envy your knowledge and experience with Windoze (someday
you must tell me how you have immunized yourself against all those
viruses....), but on a number of occassions you have made mention
of compilation times, always stressing how Windoze is fast and
Linux is slow, e.g.

  Could you give me some idea of what are the times you are
experiencing, and why you would "expect" them to be faster than on
Linux?  I have never attempted subjecting libxml2 to the Windoze
compiling experience, but for Linux I get:

billrouter libxml2-2.4.24 # make distclean > /dev/null 2>&1
billrouter libxml2-2.4.24 # date;./configure>/dev/null
2>&1;date;make>/dev/null 2>&1;date

billrouter libxml2-2.4.24 #

i.e. 9 seconds to configure, 1 minute 32 seconds to compile & test
both static and dynamic libraries (latest utilities, gcc 3.1.1).
