There's a shell script on www.xmlsoft.org that promises to do all the hard 
work, but it didn't quite live up to that when I tried it.  Somewhere to 
start though.

http://www.xmlsoft.org/catalog.html the script is somewhere near the bottom.

Final decision to be made on the 11th November, if the RC is going to be 
released as final, plus a couple of days for the tagging, last minute stuff, 
organization etc, and I suppose it's looking like about a week or so from 
now, which is why I thought this a good time to bring it up.
