I've got no problem with that (BTW, my name is Jean-Marc, not Jean)! For the
next two weeks, I won't have much time to code, but I can help people use the
Overflow libraries. I don't think Overflow itself will need much changes for
this first phase anyway.

BTW, anyone still have problems compiling/running Overflow (except Brad on
FreeBSD - how are things going Brad?)

Also, I guess we should all agree on a version of libXML. They broke source
compatibility twice after the release I'm using (1.7.3). For 1.8 it was minor,
but they changed all the names in version 2.
