Is that something that install kernels, an embedded board, or my pc532
will need to do (now or ever)?  If there's situations where that
functionality will not be needed, then there's still a case for being
able to unhook that code to save space.  Perhaps the default could be
to include XML conversion support, and have the toggle to disable it?

Cheers,
Simon.
