This code uses pretty old verion of expat driver (AFAIR earlier than Oct 2003),
small update is required for version from ejabberd-0.7.5 (replace xmlstart,
xmlend, xmlcdata, and xmlerror with ?XML_*).  But i'd recommend to use version
from ejabberd cvs version, it includes interface for parsing entire element and
works faster.
