Chris,

I'll try and help if I can. My comfort zone is Java, but I'm willing 
to learn. If you could give me some notes on what to do to extend the 
build to Cygwin, I will make that my task.

I'm new to this project, so forgive the naive question. May I ask why 
are you using the libxml parser rather than a pure Java parser? Is 
this an interim measure?

Best regards,

Phil
