Thanks for working on this.  The prefix should probably be "xml_body_". 
  I'd also like the feature to be enabled only if a "-fxml-body" option 
is given on the command line.  For now you can just create a 
"xml_body_enabled" global variable in xml.c and test it before 
dispatching calls to xml_body_ functions.  If I'm happy with your 
implementation I'll integrate them and convert the variable to an option 
and integrate.

You'll have to figure out how the autotools-based build system currently 
used by GCC builds the C compiler and adjust GCC-XML's CMakeLists.txt 
files appropriately.  Alot of it is shared with code already built in 
GCC-XML's version so it may just be a matter of adding a "gccxml_cc1" 
executable to contain the code.  A separate "xml_c.c" source should 
probably be created to hold the C part of the dump code.  It would be 
built into gccxml_cc1.

Good luck,
