[Bf-committers] Re: expat

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Erwin,

Last week's IRC meeting we had a developer proposing to link with this  
lib by default. He's working on XML exporting too. Expanding Blender  
with libraries is something I treat with utmost reluctance (you know  
me!), so first like to see evident added functionality. :)

If such functionality is approved on, adding xpat is a no-issue.
