Thanks Eli!

I downloaded the files from your site, applied the patches and 
configure.bat fails with the following error:

In file included from 
D:/devel/emacs/libs/libxml2-2.7.8/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h:807:0,
                 from

                 from junk.c:1:
D:/devel/emacs/libs/libxml2-2.7.8/include/libxml2/libxml/encoding.h:28:19: 
fatal error: iconv.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Looks like there is an dependency on libiconv, which I don't have 
installed. Should these dependencies be included in your libxml2 download?

Thanks,
Christoph
