Well ... at least I've got XML-LibXML-Common-0.13 built and working fine. Turns out I just had to embed libxml2.dll.manifest (which was in the package's 'lib' folder) into libxml2.dll - which I did by moving the manifest to the 'bin' folder, cd'ing to that folder, and running: 
mt -nologo -manifest libxml2.dll.manifest -outputresource:libxml2.dll;

Thanks jand, for pointing out to me that it was the xml2 and iconv dll's that needed the embedded manifest. (For some reason, the iconv dll was ok - perhaps the manifest was already embedded in it.)

Now, I spose I might as well try and build the other dependencies and XML::LibXML itself, just to verify that it can be done.

I'll report back later (for the benefit of the thousands of people who are intently following this thread ;-)

Cheers,
Rob
