+ This is an XML parsing library provided in the Gnome framework.
+XML is a standard to build tag based structured documents. The
+internal document repesentation is as close as possible to the
+DOM interfaces. The interfaces of the XML library are by principle
+low level, there is nearly zero abstration.
+
+ Some features are:
+
+ - C++ support
+ - Updated code to follow more recent specs, added
+ compatibility flag
+ - Error handling, use a dedicated, overridable error
+ handling function.
+ - Support for CDATA.
+ - Keep track of line numbers for better error reporting.
+ - Support for PI (SAX one).
