The XSD runtime (libxsd) is a header-only library so you don't
need to do anything extra. The problem, of course, arises when
a new version of XSD is released and you want to upgrade. In
this case you will need to make the change again.

The recommended way to turn XInclude support in Xerces-C++ is to
setup the XML-to-DOM stage yourself, as described in this recent
post:
