G2S is a peculiar schema. It contains files that are not self-sufficient
and cannot be compiled independently. That is, when you load them via
g2sMessage.xsd, they are valid but by themselves they don't contain
the necessary include's/import's for declarations that they use.

Because of this you need to use the file-per-type compilation mode.
For more information about this mode see the following blog post:

We also happened to have a GNU make-based test for this schema which
I uploaded here if you are interested:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/g2s-test.tar.gz

The test builds a simple test driver that loads and prints a G2S
document. A few notes on the test:

1. You need to place the G2S schemas into the same directory as the
   Makefile.

2. You may need to adjust the paths to the XSD compiler and runtime
   library at the beginning of the Makefile.

3. If you have several CPUs/Cores, consider using the -j GNU make
   option -- the schema is quite big and it takes some time to compile.
