Ah, we hit a problem there (discussed on IRC, mirroring it here for
completeness). It seems that Cygwin does not package any non-core modules
for Perl, so we're out of luck for any XML parser. This means that we should
either abandon the idea completely, require users to manually install
XML::LibXML (which seems to be the best offering - depends on libxml2 which
*is* available in Cygwin) or add it to the rockbox cygwin mirror (this means
of course that someone would have to package it).
