I won't be updating it anytime soon, in fact.  1.19.2 is a development 
version, according to the author, so I will stick with 1.13.3 -- the stable, 
released version.  Unfortunately, Hackage has no way to indicate stable vs. 
alpha, I guess.  (That would make life easier here.)  I suppose I ought to 
also post something on the hpodder wiki and update the Cabal build-deps so 
it gets the right HaXml version.
