The code I submitted also included code for converting
a hex string back to its original binary format.  As
long as the binary is sizeof(int), you should be able
to do a simple cast, ie (I haven't yet seen how Alex
integrated it, otherwise I'd give you an actual code
sample):

    xmlChar hex = "75BCD15"; // decimal 123456789
    xmlSecByte *buf;
    xmlSecSize bufsize = 0;
    int i;

    // convert hex to binary,
    // assign data pointer to buf
    // assign buffer size to bufsize

    if( bufsize == sizeof(int) )
        i = *(int*)buf;
