Description

Should we try to have a bugfix release build of Xalan-C 1.10.1, maintaining
compatibility with Xerces-C XML Version 2.8.0?

The current SVN repository builds for Windows no longer support
Xerces-C Versions 2.7 and 2.8 XML Parsers. These old parsers use
VC6, VC7.1 and VC8 tools. I can probably help with a backwards port
if necessary.

Support for VC6 is going away because it is no longer used by the
Xerces-C Version 3.+ parsers.

The current SVN repository is designed for Version 1.11 and Xerces-C
Version 3.0 and newer. Xalan-C 1.10 is supported by Xerces-C
parsers of version 2.8 or older. A backwards port of project builds
would be required to make a Xalan-C 1.10.1 bugfix release
