(zero-length) byte arrays.

The Dub archive package, on the other hand, works

perfectly.
This branch ( dxml ) is, as the name implies, a switch to using dxml for XML parsing,
rather than the long-deprecated  std.xml .
Example usage:

import std.stdio;
import xlsx;

void main() {
//Reads sheet 1 from file "test.xlsx"
writeln(readSheet("test.xlsx", 1));

//Read a named sheet

writeln(readSheet("test.xlsx", "My Sheet"));
}

As of version 0.0.4 now properly reads from the Shared String Table for spreadsheets
with many oft-repeating strings and/or whenever Excel decides to make use of it.

Tested on Windows and Linux (x64), but written purely in D with no external
dependencies, so it should run on all platforms D supports.
