Patches added during last week on W3C CVS base:

- tree.c: coalesce adjacent text nodes
- valid.c: handling of blank nodes in DTd validation (raised
  by problems with a posteriori validation).
- nanohttp.c: changing behaviour on HTTP write stuff.
- HTMLtree.c: forced body and html to be explicitely closed.
- xpath.h: exported more XPath functions.
