Re: Suggestion regarding header files...

[Ari Johnson]

If you compiled without XML support, but you try to include cc++/xml.h,
you should be informed that you're trying to use a part of the library
that you didn't install.  I think that xml.h is a good place to put this,
and also that it should be an #error (just like trying to start a car
without an engine is an error and not something that can be ignored as a
warning).
