I'm not great on details of handling libraries in windows ... so I  
suggest you just follow a route known to work.

If you get the README.MinGW from the latest gnustep-make package, it  
tells you exactly which version of libxml to use, where to get it,  
and how to modify it so that it exports all the symbols the base  
library needs.
