expat version was 1.95.5, dynamically linked.

I will contribute my DLF-convertors (both for FW-1 and Snort) either 
under the GPL or under proprietary license (depends on my company) after 
some further testing and bug-fixing.

For an advanced reporting of FW1, IMHO I'll have to write a separate 
SuperService in order to report on FW-1 specific stuf e.g. 
SecurityServers etc...
