If you are looking for a tiny tool to handle xml within C programs I
suggest that you take a look at flexml.

It is based on flex. Unfortunately it works with the old-flex. I had not
the time to help patching it so that is works with flex. I am sure
that the upstream author will accept to recieve patches.
