libxml2

Seriously, just because you're writing in C++, why do you need to use a
C++ XML parser?  You'll find libxml2 is used in so many things that you
can practically guarantee it will be installed.

Xerces is probably the most popular C++ parser, but it's large, bulky,
and has no ABI which means you need to rebuild your whole application
any time Xerces makes a new release.
