Ludo & the rest,

After my recent adventures with LazUpdater, back to the XML export.

I've written new tests with more data types that at least produce test
output now.

My revision 13 has fixes for the Delphi Clientdataset issues, so
everyone is welcome to test if you want:
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpc_laz_patch_playground/overview

You might want to just use fpxmlxsdexport.pp and use the existing
XMLXSDExportTest code to compare current output with old test output...

I'll be continuing with:
- adding as many small fixes as I can
- streamlining/refactoring the code
- testing ADO.Net, Excel & Access export formats
- preparing patch for (hopefully) inclusion in FPC 2.6 series

Thanks,
Reinier
