[xml] Unresolved externals with 2.9.0-rc1 on MSVC++ 2010

[Adam Nielsen <a nielsen shikadi net>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to port a program of mine to Windows, using MS Visual C++ 2010 Express.

I'm having a little trouble compiling libxml2 2.9.0-rc1 however.  I can run 
configure.js successfully and everything looks fine.  I'm compiling without 
iconv and zlib, as I don't need them for my program and I intend to do a 
static link to libxml2.

Unfortunately when compiling per the instructions in win32/Readme.txt, I get a 
bunch of unresolved externals:

   Creating library bin.msvc\libxml2.lib and object bin.msvc\libxml2.exp
xmlreader.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
xmlsave.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
xpath.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent 
referenced in function _xmlXPathDebugDumpStepOp
parser.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
parserInternals.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
xinclude.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
xmlIO.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
c14n.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
encoding.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
HTMLparser.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
HTMLtree.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlBufContent
...

There are others with _xmlBufAdd, _xmlBufFree, etc. so it's not just that one 
function.

Does anyone know what might cause this?  I didn't get any other compiler 
errors, after I applied the fix to dict.c which was committed a few days ago, 
and I can't find anyone else who has had this same problem.

Configure output is below, if that helps.  Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Adam.
