As I don´t know who is going to use my library and how
(wheter the process will be using libxml by his own or not),
if one process loads, uses and unloads my library several
times, the memory leak would be cumulative?

In case it's cumulative, it's there the posibility to have
xmlCleanupParser() be called when libxml unloads? (like in
the destructor/Dllmain, or atexit in libxml itself?)

 no, it should not.
