XQ: xml query

cat file.xml | xq '/path'
xq -f file.xml '/path'

path is an XPath (but not everything is supported).

Xq currently can handle some queries itself (without libxpath). To make use of these, you have to adjust the xq.c file to call 'query' instead of 'query2'. This is a leftover that will eventually be removed.

Limited XPath features (without libxpath):

- @attr: /hello/world/@attr
- text(): /hello/world/text()
- [@attr='value']: /hello/world[@attr='second']/stuff
- [2]: /hello/world[2]/stuff
