that sounds great :-) I am still using a highly patched 2.5
version of xerces-p because 2.6 hadn't given me all the features
needed (that I have in my patches).

I guess that's not problem.

Looking at the the original submission I wonder if things will be that
easy. Especially no plist update makes me wonder. Having been the
former maintainer of xerces-c2 I know that it's a lot of work to get
the port right and ports people have often found more things
afterwards;-) I can lend you a hand and help during next week and
test things also with different make config options if time permits.
Just contact me offlist/offPR.

There is "The Porters Handbook" that gives "some" information on
what to do and how to do it:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
You might want to have a look at it if you haven't already.

And last: thanks a lot for taking on the xerces-c2 port!
