It's possible, but they're 75 mb big. What do you think?

Anyway, only maintainers will want to build all that manually,
since there's like 18 dependencies to build from source... only packagers
like me would. (regular users will just use the binary, or perhaps macports)

Actuially it was Kurosu's idea :

And as for replacement, you could use regular libxml, or perhaps irrXML that
should support everything that's required in its next version.
Perhaps an idea would be to abstract all XML calls behind a high-level set
of functions that can then be implemented with whatever library you want?
not sure, that will need to be seen for later. I think Kurosu has already some
work done.
