+ a SYSTEM or PUBLIC doctype if an entity declaration handler
+ was registered.
+ #137 #138 Fix a case of mistakenly reported parsing success where

+ #60 Windows with _UNICODE:
+ Unintended use of LoadLibraryW with a non-wide string
+ resulted in failure to load advapi32.dll and degradation
+ in quality of used entropy when compiled with _UNICODE for
+ Windows; you can launch existing binaries with
+ EXPAT_ENTROPY_DEBUG=1 in the environment to inspect the
+ quality of entropy used during runtime; commits
