The README for TclXML and TclDOM v3.0 details how to build the packages 
on Windows.  I use VS.NET, and have included a Makefile.vc that 
performs the build from a command prompt, rather than using the VS IDE. 
  This works with the libxml2 Windows binary distribution without 
modification.  Once you give the parameters correctly, specifying where 
the various components are located, it's all pretty automatic.

If anyone has a better build system then please let me know!  I'm only 
too happy to make improvements for the 3.1 release.

Cheers,
Steve Ball
