XML Output: libxo - provide single API to output TXT, XML, JSON and HTML

[Alfred Perlstein]

Folks,

I see libxo has landed in FreeBSD, but it appears that the userland mods 
to the utilities never made it in?  Is my assessment correct?

/usr/src/usr.bin/netstat % find /usr/src/ | xargs grep LIBXO | grep -v 
/usr/src/contrib/libxo | grep -v /usr/src/lib/libxo
/usr/src/usr.bin/xo/Makefile:LIBXO=    ${.CURDIR:H:H}/contrib/libxo
/usr/src/usr.bin/xo/Makefile:.PATH:    ${LIBXO}/xo
/usr/src/usr.bin/xo/Makefile:CFLAGS+=-I${LIBXO}/libxo

The patches against netstat are stale and were never applied.  I have 
not tried other utilities.

/usr/src/usr.bin/netstat % wc -l *.rej
      547 if.c.rej
      549 inet.c.rej
      236 inet6.c.rej
       96 main.c.rej
       68 mroute.c.rej
       39 netgraph.c.rej
      415 route.c.rej
       24 unix.c.rej
     1974 total

/usr/src/usr.bin/netstat % ls -l *.rej

Ouch...

Is this slated for being freshened up?

As I recall the student who did the GSoC had most of the code ready to 
commit, utilities included, however we as a group decided not to take 
the student's code because Juniper was going to provide libxo AND port a 
few basic utilities to use it.
