XML parser availability
Dear people of ZeroC,
can't you make the IceXML package regularly available as a static library? The wrapper is really elegant and the underlying expat lib is so small that both together should be more than a simple double of libxml which, unfortunately, is quite big.

Hi Stephan,
What exactly is your motivation here? Are you trying to avoid the use of shared libraries altogether?

Hey!Are you trying to avoid the use of shared libraries altogether?
No, not entirely. But I would like to reduce the dependencies to shared libraries. I need xml to read some configuration files, not more, so I think that expat provides enough functionality for me. libxml2 in contrary is so full-featured and thus so blown-up.
On the other hand, libxml2 was responsible for the assertions when running my services in debug mode. As soon as I removed libxml2-related code from my app, it ran without any problems! I assume that expat would not generate such problems. But that's just a guess :-)
