And this: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.24 /lib/libc-2.3.6.so | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1137372 2006-05-21 20:46 /lib/libc-2.3.6.so | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1103284 2006-05-03 10:40 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.24 (from a fairly standard Ubuntu). Trying to squeeze a few bytes by using uClibc instead of libc seems like an exercise in futility. And Daniel Veillard surely did a good job with libxml2. It's just that the XML spec is so brai^H^H^H^H complex (yes, libxml2 needs an FTP and an HTTP client inside just to be compliant :-( I'm probably too old for this XML hype everywhere. Grumpy old man, goes back into cave. (Note that as a document description language, I'd consider XML to be somewhat decent -- but even then, it won't be my favourite. But I disgress).
