Xerces 2.7 did not compile on MinGW, so I did use the upcoming 3.0 trunk 
that has been more stable and elaborated than the 2.* branch for quite a 
time. I never checked 2.8 on Windows - it may work but I don't think it 
is worth trying.

A complete configuration of MinGW and matching tool versions is listed 
in the REQUIREMENTS file. Yes I am still using an old MinGW 
configuration, because the current version did cause serious problems 
with the exception handling. Because it is a very nasty business to 
check these critical parts I did stick to the configuration that is well 
known to work.

Please report any stable configuration that you tested throughly by long 
term tests and repeated exception behaviour tests.

Greets,

Ronald
