But, if you want to have expat cooperate with C++ by means of VC++, why
not use static linkage to *.lib file and access it through number of
wrappers? VC++ knows how to link to *.objs in C-originated *.lib and call
its functions, AFAIK gcc for sure must have that "feature".

So, solution I prefer is to compile or download static LIB and tell linker
to use it. It does _is_ external binary library, but is not any, after
linker produces an exe. U have flexibility of expat written in "tricky C",
avail to C++ and no DLL/so tossing around - that's what tiggers like best
:)
