i've got a fix for this, will make a patch asap.
basically its a makefile bug.

in libxml2, if you say cruntime=/MT or /MTd or /ML or /MLd, 
then we need to link .exe's with static version of libxml.

otherwise libxml2.dll and xmllint.exe would, for example, each would
have their own copy of CRT global vars/tables, etc. and segfaults
happen quickly with things like stdio functions.
