Re: setting XMLC_SOURCE_FILE to the right place

I am not currently using Deferred Parsing.  I need to read more about 
how to set it up and use it.  I've found some of the documentation to be 
out of date, particularly regarding the ant task 'xmlc' that seemed to 
leave out some of the parameters that I found while digging through the 
examples.  I believe it was the 'sourceout' attribute.

Most of my problems have been with inconsistent documentation, 
particularly regarding the deferred parsing, since I believe the old way 
is now deprecated and there is a new way of doing it.   Where is the 
definitive source of documentation for the new XMLC 2.2.3 and later way 
of doing the deferred parsing?
