Well, maby I did domething wrong. Here is what I performed:
libxml2 (ver. 2.5.4)

cscript configure.js threads=native prefix=<MY_XML_INSTALL_DIR> 
include=<MY_ICONV_DIR>\include lib=<MY_ICONV_DIR>\lib

nmake

libxslt (ver. 1.0.27)

cscript configure.js prefix=<MY_XSLT_INSTALL_DIR> 
include=<MY_XML_INSTALL_DIR>\include;<MY_ICONV_DIR>\include 
lib=<MY_XML_INSTALL_DIR>\lib

nmake

I guess or hope that libxslt has taken the headers of the previously 
builded multi-threaded libxml, since it was pointed to that include 
folder. Additionally I did not find LIBXML_THREAD_ENABLED in the libxslt 
sources. So I wonder if that would make some difference to the 
compilation of libsxlt, if this is what you meant. I would be glad if 
someone could send me some info about how to build those dlls properly.

I'm not sure if this works. *If* I performed the build of libxslt the 
way it was intended, then something needs to be changed.
We originally implemented thread safety at the application level, but 
were curious about switching to libxml2 thread support. The problem is: 
  we cannot run the multi-threaded libxml2.dll in conjunction with the 
straight forward builded libxslt.dll. We get some complains about a non 
existent xmlGenericError entry point; 
"libxml2-2.5.4\win32\libxml2.def.src" declares the export of 
__xmlGenericError and not xmlGenericError if LIBXML_THREAD_ENABLED is 
on). As far as I am concerned "xmlGenericError" is used extensively in 
the libxslt sources.

Thanks and greetings,
