It seems that libxml2 needs to be version 2.3.5 or greater, and the
current version in stable is 2.2.2. I'll grant you that the libxml2 in
"testing" is 2.3.5, but I am trying to avoid installing anything more
advanced than "stable" on this particular box.
I remember running into this issue and I ended up upgrading to testing
(my box is for dev only). In your WimpyPoint, you mention that you
might wait until version 2.3.5 gets into stable, but I don't think
that'll happen. Debian's stable version will only get security updates
(I think). One option would be to get the libxml2 2.3.5 source from
testing and build it from source using 'apt-get source'. You'll need
to add a deb-src URL to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. I haven't
done this too much, so you'll want to check out the apt-get man page
for more info on that approach.

where I am trying to document everything as I go along. Comments and
suggestions are always welcome!
Looks great! You might want to change the link to my brief install
guide. Right now, it links to the current version, but when I upload a
new version (like I just did to fix the nsxml link), it'll still link
to the old version. Instead, link to the file.
