Expat 1.95.7 released.

<dd>
<ul>
<li> Fixed <code>enum XML_Status</code> issue (reported on
SourceForge many times), so compilers that are properly
picky will be happy. </li>
<li> Introduced an <code>XMLCALL</code> macro to control the
calling convention used by the Expat API; this macro should
be used to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
other than the default convention for the host
platform. </li>
<li> Improved ability to build without the
<b>configure</b>-generated <span
class="filename">expat_config.h</span> header. This is
useful for applications which embed Expat rather than
linking in the library. </li>
<li> Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 458907, 609603,
676844, 679754, 692878, 692964, 695401, 699323, 699487,
820946. </li>
<li> Improved hash table lookups. </li>
<li> Added more regression tests and improved documentation. </li>
</ul>
<p>Our plan is to wait for a short while and re-release this
version as the long-awaited Expat 2.0 if no major problems are
identified. If significant problems are found, additional
iterative releases will be made as fixes are made.</p>
