Support long path names on WNT so we've got this patch to libxml2 2.7.6 in the LibreOffice code base, inherited from OOo. it fixes a definite problem, which is that Windows has a rather low maximum path length restriction, and there is a special trick on NT whereby path names can be prefixed with "\\?\", in which case the maximum length is 32k, which ought to be sufficient even for bloated office suites :) I'll attach the patch to the xmlCanonicPath function. note that i didn't write this and am by no means an expert on either Microsoftean platforms or libxml so maybe it's not the best way to do it.

To build on Windows:
see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
To assert build quality:
on an Unixised setup:
run make tests
otherwise:
There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks
the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
