libxml/libxslt on win32

Won't this become a chicken-and-worm situation? The reason the iconv
exports were put there in the first place was so that the libxml build could
rely with confidence on there being built-in support for libxml's own
built-in iconv functions through PHP, rather than having to lean on an
external iconv.dll at runtime..

I've been using these libraries for a while without problems.

Can we split the iconv related exports from php_libxml.def to
php_iconv.def. This will make it possible to build with iconv, but without
libxml.

If possible can the libxml and libxslt libs get updated to newer
versions?
Libs can be found here: http://ctindustries.net/dom/libxml/

These version will fix some bugs, provide better libxml/libxslt support,
enable namespace support in xml ext and allow for building of xmlwriter in
pecl.
I have been testing these libs for a bit now (4.3 and 5) and haven't run
into any issues.

If the libs are update the new php_libxml2.def file needs to be
commited.
