no validation is done of anything.

argh, don't remind me :-/

we should be able to get rid of that one though, as it is only necessary
for older Solaris 10 versions, and currently we don't really support
Solaris anyway in LO; from Solaris 10 Update 4 onwards there is libxml2
version 2.6.23 which has all the features needed for the libxmlsec we
use, so just using system libxml2/libxslt on Solaris should work; i
would hope libxml2/libxslt are available by default on all OpenSolaris
based distros.

by the way, is something like

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/libxml2/libxml2-long-path.patch

also upstream? iirc there was some common configuration of Windows where
we would want to access paths that are longer than the ridiculously
small limit for the maximum path length on that ... platform, and then
they have some silly notation with \\? that supports long pathnames...

oh, there are some more patches for libxslt here, but i guess it's
mostly uninteresting stuff:
