how to ingrate xml support in lire

[Jan Stap]

For my understanding: will the possibility remain to generate ASCII reports
without using XML-tools for "small footprint" users? In my opinion, that
will help the spread of the package. Despite of that, I think that the added
XML-support is a great thing.

Cheers,

Jan
