The library-parser-templates.hxx and library-parser-templates.txx files
are generated by XSD. Normally when you compile a schema in the form
library.xsd, the generated parser template files are in the form
library.hxx and library.txx. This example changes their names to
library-parser-templates.hxx and library-parser-templates.txx
using the "--hxx-suffix -parser-template.hxx" and
"-txx-suffix -parser-template.txx" options. The library-parser.hxx file
is hand-written and contains parser implementations. BTW, the README
file in the example directory describes the origin and purpose of
each file.

If you are considering using the C++/Parser mapping, I strongly recommend
that you upgrade to the latest beta for 3.0.0 (the release should be out
in a couple of weeks). In this release, the C++/Parser mapping was
significantly redesigned so the architecture in 2.x.y series is
essentially a dead end. The new version has a much better documentation
(can be found in documentation/cxx/parser/guide/ directory of XSD
distribution). It also has a new feature that allows you to auto-generate
a sample parser implementation and a test driver for your vocabulary.
