Okay, thanks.  I'm adding a versioned dependency on the 2.1 SP schemas to
the SP library package.  I'm assuming from what you said above that making
sure the 2.1 OpenSAML library has the 2.1 schemas isn't required.

Are there versioning constraints for the XMLTooling-C schemas?  Does a 2.1
SP require at least the 1.1 schemas, for example, or the 1.1 library
require the 1.1 schemas?
