    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 an Unixised setup:
       ./configure ; make ; make install
    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.
