Description: C++ XML Library
  This is a C++ class for reading and writing XML structures.
  .
  All informaton can be found in the generated doxygen project documentation.
  .
  Rationale: The initial idea was to map C++ data structures to XML
  files for configuration files that can easily be edited by hand.
  .
  This library does not need any kind of C++ code parser or special pre
  compiler. You can specify a schema entirly in native C++. The schema
  is verified when XML is read and exceptions are thrown when the XML to
  be parse is invalid. Exceptions specify exactly the location and
  reason of the problem, so that the editor of the XML file can easily
  find and correct the problem.
  .
  C++ classes can inherit xml::Serialize and become serializable this
  way. All you need to do is to overwrite one single method, where you
  declare XML tag names for the class name and for all members.
  .
  (More rationale: See also "related Pages" in the doxygen project documentation)
  .
  Structure of the files:
    src:          The source code of the library
    doc/html:     Doxygen documentation oft the library usage
    doc/examples: Example code (included in doxygen documentation)
    test:         CppUnit test files - can also be taken as examples
