    Optimized xmlXPathNodeCollectAndTest() and xmlXPathNodeCollectAndTestNth()
    
    * xpath.c: Optimized xmlXPathNodeCollectAndTest() and
      xmlXPathNodeCollectAndTestNth() to evaluate a compound
      traversal of 2 axes when we have a "//foo" expression.
      This is done with a rewrite of the XPath AST in
      xmlXPathRewriteDOSExpression(); I added an additional field
      to xmlXPathStepOp for this (but the field's name should be
      changed). The mechanism: the embracing descendant-or-self
      axis traversal (also optimized to return only nodes which
      can hold elements), will produce context nodes for the
      inner traversal of the child axis. This way we avoid a full
      node-collecting traversal of the descendant-or-self axis.
      Some tests indicate that this can reduce execution time of
      "//foo" to 50%. Together with the XPath object cache this
      all significantly speeds up libxslt.

    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.
