On windows, you really dont need that giant patch.

Currently it does need xmlInitThreads in the libxml2.def.src/libxml2.def
(depending if you want to run configure again or not), if you want to use
libxml as a shared dll. If you compile it statically (add LIBXML_STATIC=1 to
the preprocessor definitions) you dont have to worry about adding the export
declaration or recompiling libxml.

If we dump the call the xmlInitThreads in xml extension, then a patched
version is no longer needed. Currently this is an empty function, but
supposedly will be used in the near future.

Also for php4dllts project make sure HAVE_XML is in the preprocessor
definitions.
If this still doesnt work, send the errors you get compiling.
