Summary: xmlwf should return with a non-zero value on error

Initial Comment:
In http://bugs.debian.org/82763 it has been requested, that xmlwf returns with a non-zero exit value if
there is an issue (e.g. non-wellformed XML). The attached patch, applied for around 7 years to the Debian
package, would fulfill the request.

Summary: xmlwf manpage wrong about XML standard and well-formdness

Initial Comment:
In http://bugs.debian.org/412786 a user reported an content bug in the xmlwf manpage. There it is
written, that the XML standard requires an XML declaration at the beginning to be the well-formed.
However this is IMO wrong. The XML declaration is AFAIK optional.

The attached patch fixes this for the SGML source. It further makes a small fix to not output a point at the
beginning of a line in the GROFF file - some tools do not escape the dot here with \& - so removing the
line-break will avoid issues with other tools)

Summary: Sometimes expat_config.h seems to be required

Initial Comment:
A Debian user requested, that expat_config.h is installed along with the other header files. It looks
like, some software packages rely on this header file.

I'm not sure, if it's a bug in the packages relying on this header or if it's a valid user request. I'm therefor
simply forwarding this request to you. The Debian package ships the header for 3 years now and it seems to
have no disadvantages.

The patch is attached.

Summary: Parser crash with specially formatted UTF-8 sequences

Initial Comment:
I have discovered a way to crash libexpat's xml parser with certain specially formatted UTF-8 sequences.
All applications that link w/ expat and use it to render user-provided XML files are affected. As far as I
see, the issue is not exploitable, just denial of service.

This is the patch that I have come up with, also attached to this email:
