SUMMARY
=======
This is a port of expat for AmigaOS 4.0 which includes the
SDK, some XML tools and the libraries.

Both static and shared library versions are supported.

The static library version is limited to clib2 although it should
be possible to use newlib with the appopriate compile options.

The shared library version is based on the work of Fredrik Wikstrom
and is currently limited to PPC only.
