Ok, Finished!  (for now)
Attached files contain a snapshot of the directory of my "expatc" component,
and a very simple example ( only print to console) in gambas.

1. Makefiles
I'm not a Guru of autoconf nor automake, 
so the Makefile, Makefile.in, Makefile.am need to be generic,
it reffers to absolute path on my machine!
This makefile also generate the .info and install them

I'v seen in a previous post a How-to to implement a new component,
but for te next version....

2. Requirements: expat library installed 
(i don't know the size of this)

3. The code:
When method Parse(filename) is called the parser
open file, parse and fire the correspondig gambas-events.
Principals events are:
StartElement, ChararcterData, EndElement

4. Others
In gambas (small bug?), the text editor replace "?" by "PRINT"
so you can't edit  XML files
The Attribute parameter of StartElement is declared as "o" Object 
in the signature, How can declare it as Collection?
