[xsd-users] Linking errors (not Xerces, I believe) with date_time types in VS2010

You are using the parsing constructor. The only situation that I can
think of that will result in the linker error you've showed is if you
disabled parsing support (--suppress-parsing). Otherwise the constructor
implementation is include into the generated header file.

It is normally not used directly, but you can use it if you need to.

Yes, that's the constructors that are normally used.
