RE: SAXON 5.0 is available

[Sebastien Sahuc <ssahuc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank for your great work, it's really valuable.

I only noticed that the compiler is still not shiped with this
version, and as we got trouble with the previous one (with SAXON 4.5
), I wonder if you have some plan on this subject ? May you need some
help to finish it ?

Thank,

Sebastien
