OK, I have gone back as far as 8.2, which is where the MSVC build system 
started. I'm keeping my fingers crossed slightly about the 8.2 fix. 8.3 
and 8.4 should be fine. We don't have buildfarm coverage for 8.2, as the 
MSVC build system wasn't mature enough at that stage.

Baiji built before I put in the patch, so it didn't have USE_LIBXSLT 
enabled.

Looks like we have a bit more work to do ;-(
