ok, will try again.

ok. XML::Parser is really a huge download that I'd rather try to avoid. IMHO 
we can live with the [no-xml] workaround... but if others don't want it, 
okay.

*sigh* Absolutely not that I know of. Seems in terms of the win32 ports, 
everyone is back to the old "cooking your own soup" days again. I think 
Gnumeric is longest in this business -- you could try to ask them how they do 
it, but the mailing list isn't too active when it comes to win32 issues.
