libxml2 is a plain c library
http://xmlsoft.org/

libxslt dito.
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/

?? May you mix it up. In order to create *bindings* to C++ libs doxygens 
xml output seems to be perfect.

To _port_ C headers DStep is probaly the right tool. But I just see that 
I have to build llvm and what the heck.. :(

Now, in order to parse doxygens xml output std.xml is not good enough. 
In other words it would be nice to have libxml2 as D lib available.
