Description

Some SAX classes like SAX/ErrorHandler, looks like:

class SAX_EXPORT ErrorHandler
{
public:
ErrorHandler() {}
virtual ~ErrorHandler() {}
};

When linking Xerces DLL to my program, my linker (CodeWarrior) gives multiple
definied warning(s):
ErrorHandler::~ErrorHandler is defined in the XERCES.DLL, and in application.

Since the destructor is virtual, exported, inlined the linker is right.
The descructor should no be inlined, or is should not be exported.

Morover since all of the virtual functions has implementation, the compiler can
generate a vtbl for it. So the vtbl is also defined twice.

I think that the destructor's implementation should not be inlined.
