I am considering using XML::Parser to parse lire reports in xml format.
When merging reports, e.g. to make a weekly overview from daily reports
about one service on one host, using this CPAN module can be very
usefull.  In case one is not interested in merging reports, the module
is not needed.  I believe it would be better not to make the module an
absolute requirement, since it relies on James Clark's XML parser, expat.
It might be some hassle to install this.  (Don't know for sure, though.)
If anybody has got other opinions on this, I'm interested.

Using this parser in lr_xml2png seems logical to me.  A "simple" install
could generate just the ascii reports, as it does now.  For a "full"
install, with pdf reports, merged reports, and pictures, one needs
additional software.

Bye,

Joost
