- added XML RelaxNG validation interface (XML::LibXML::RelaxNG)
- Michael K. Edwards' patch applied with some amendments from Petr Pajas:
* add debian build files (I added SKIP_SAX_INSTALL flag for
Makefile.PL and changed the patch so that it doesn't disable
sax parser registration completely by default, and rather made
debian build use this flag)
* general cleanup (use SV_nolen, etc.)
* SAX parsers cleanup
* general error reporting code cleanup/rewrite, try preventing
possible memory leaks
* recover(1) now triggers warnings (disable with $SIG{__WARN__}=sub {})
* slighlty more strict parse_string behavior (now same as when
parsing fh, etc): e.g. parse_string("<foo:bar>"), i.e prefix without
NS declaration, raises error unless recover(1) is used
* documentation fixes/updates
* slightly updated test set to reflect the new slightly more strict
parsing.

This module is an interface to the gnome libxml2 DOM parser (no SAX
parser support yet), and the DOM tree. It also provides an
XML::XPath-like findnodes() interface, providing access to the XPath
API in libxml2.
