Description: 
CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to
C++ data binding compiler. Provided with an XML instance specification
(XML Schema), it generates C++ classes that represent the given
vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code.
You can then access the data stored in XML using types and functions
that semantically correspond to your application domain rather than
dealing with intricacies of reading and writing XML.

Koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1368376

Known issues:
1. The doc sub-package has a two Postscript files that rpmlint grunts about
   not being in UTF-8 encoding. I couldn't find any reasonable converter that
   can convert Postscript files to another encoding and AFAIK many printers
   do not support UTF-8 at all.

2. The main package contains both: the xsd schema compiler and the header files
   needed to build the generated code. Rpmlint does not like it at all.
   However there is no value in separating headers from the compiler:
   if You use the compiler to generate C++ code, You most certainly want to
   build the generated files as well.

3. Compiler binary is renamed to xsdcxx to avoid a name conflict. The same 
   naming is currently used in the debian project
   (http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/xsd).
