Let me try to pull the ends together on this.
- As DTL pointed out one way out is to use a static libxml2. I tried
that, and managed to build and check it under MinGW but it did not work
correctly with package XML. That route used to be possible, but it is
too much work to keep fixing

While I don't disagree with the general need to provide an interface
to SetDllDirectory, etc., I think the discussion about 3rd party
libraries has slightly missed the more obvious solution.
Instead of using a DLL, such packages can link against a _sta
Thanks Duncan for the hints.
libxml2.dll is not in my c:/WINDOWS/system32, but in that of a user of
a package of mine. I guess installed by some other application, though
I don't really know what it's doing there (or the consequences of
removing it).
The MSDN site seemed in the long term to point

No, system32 is searched before the PATH. See

Should adding PREFIX/library/XML/libs to PATH before system32 solve the
issue as Windows relies on PATH when searching for libs as well?

The XML package relies on libxml2.dll (e.g., bundled with the CRAN
binary) installed in library/XML/libs. Unfortunately,
c:/WINDOWS/system32/libxml2.dll will be found and loaded before
