Summary: Default xmlns=... in external subset

Initial Comment:
This bug was reported by Jeremy Kloth. It applies to
Expat 1.95.2, 1.95.4 and 1.95.5.

If an xmlns attribute is defaulted in the external subset,
one gets a NULL pointer error when parsing an
external general entity.

This can be reproduced with the attached files
i18n.xml, l10n.xml and en.xml.

The fix for that requires switching to a separately
allocated DTD structure and is therefore quite
extensive. Check the attached files patch.diff and 
overview.txt. The patch also contains some source
code comments.

What's missing in the rest of this report is that the
StartElementHandler must be set to tickle this bug.  ;-)

I've checked in a test case in tests/runtests.c revision 1.37.
