After spending some time getting nsxml.c to work, I’ve revisited tdom for parsing the fence file, and it works great!

I may end up reverting everything back to nsxml.c, but I like that nsxml.c is an internal component for AOL Server. There’s something quite cool about that.

Anyway, I also heard back from Dossy about my nsmysql.c question. I took the suggestion of installing libmysqlclient14 and -dev, but still no go. I was surprised I had to go all the way back to sarge to get those libs on lenny. I responded back to Dossy with thanks for the quick response, as wel as a follow-up question: does it make sense to try and update the bindings to libmysqlclient15?
