I (personally) vote for this option.  Maybe we could even remove GSXML  
at some point. ;-)

Eg, Renaissance has separate XML parsing code for GNUstep and Apple.   
It would be nice to have been able to use a single API
across the two. :-)

Getting rid of libxml2 and going for the pure Objective-C route sounds  
like a big job ... for little gain, so I don't think it would
be very useful.

Thanks
