[xmlsec] Need help installing/building on win32 platform (WinXP)

[Aleksey Sanin]

PEM key files are *not* supported by xmlsec-mscrypto library.
Please see readme file in src/mscrypto folder:

    4) The only supported file formats are PKCS#12 and DER certificates
    (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123675).

BTW, using mailing list is a better way to get answers.
