simplexml and dom interop

I have no problem with you committing this. It'd be good if at least
another guy who has been working on the new XML extensions gives you thumbs up.

committing it right now as it has limited testing, beta 2 is being
released next week and I am leaving on tuesday for a week or two, so wont
be able to fix any issues that might arise from it.

patch - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.diff.txt
example script - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.php.txt

The changes include:
simplexml
new function: simplexml_import_dom(domnode) returns an sxe object
behavior change: setting the value of an element will do just
that. I removes all child nodes unlike previous version which would
change the value of the first child node of the reference node (I dont
believe this was the intended behavior)
the change in behavior and the integration with the functions
from the libxml extension should resolve a lot of the libxml memory leaks

dom
    new function: dom_import_simplexml(sxe) returns domnode
    also a minor change to clonenode method of domnode

Let me know if people really want this in the beta release otherwise i am
going to wait until after I get back to further test and commit this stuff.

So my only comment on this is that the import functions should do some
kind of error (domexception, or a php error) if the support for the
other is not compiled in. This would just be freindlier to the
developer to know why the call is failing (rather than just getting
function not defined).

Otherwise, I have not gotten around to testing the patch tonight, as
something else is causing crashes for me.
