Description
Can I simply replace the third-party libs with the latest versions? Or are there any restrictions that need to be observed?
Current expat 2.6.4
with settings the new define XML_GE to zero
Current zlib 1.3.1

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how expat and zlib are integrated and where XML_GE is defined, then review the build and dependency configuration for version restrictions. Done means the newer libraries build and the existing test suite passes without breaking XMP functionality.
