[xml] Trying to make sense of testsuite errors with libxml2 2.7.6

["Martin B." <0xCDCDCDCD gmx at>]

Hi all!

I've downloaded ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.6.tar.gz and 
compiled it with Visual Studio 2005 without warnings.

libxml2-2.7.6\win32> cscript configure.js compiler=msvc cruntime=/MDd 
vcmanifest=yes debug=yes prefix=.\debug iconv=no legacy=no

libxml2 version: 2.7.6
Created Makefile.
Created config.h.

XML processor configuration
---------------------------
              Trio: no
     Thread safety: native
...

libxml2-2.7.6\win32> nmake /f Makefile.msvc

etc. etc.

However, when I run the tests I get the following output:

libxml2-2.7.6> runtest.exe

How do I figure out what went wrong??
