Why not to convert XML's to C code when compiling distribution ? XML's are large and not very fast to parse. This approach would have all the benefits of XML's while developing and would not cause additional penalties for release distribution.
We need to be aware of that we are introducing extra disk IO which can
give us problems, especialy during startup if we have to load a lot of
files. In practice I don't think this will be a problem for a long
time though, but doesn't hurt to have a mitigation strategy. We could:
* Put files as static strings in the code so that we don't have to
significant disk IO at all
* Merge several files together to minimize disk seeking times for many files
