  Description     : Perl interface to libxml2's xmlXPathContext

This module augments XML::LibXML by providing Perl interface to libxml2's
xmlXPathContext structure. Besides just performing xpath statements on
XML::LibXML's node trees it allows redefining certaint aspects of XPath
engine. This modules allows

  1. registering namespace prefixes,
  2. defining XPath functions in Perl,
  3. defining variable lookup functions in Perl.
  4. cheating the context about current proximity position and
     context size

The module libnet-amazon-s3-perl (needed by backup-manager) depends on
this module, as I intent to package libnet-amazon-s3-perl, as also
intent to package that one.
