+Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This means that you register
+handlers with the parser before starting the parse. These handlers
are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the

+Windows users should use the expat_win32bin package, which includes
+both precompiled libraries and executalbes, and source code for
+developers.
