Creates a new XSLoader. The newly constructed loader may then be
configured and used to load XML Schemas.
Params:
versions –  A list containing the versions of XML Schema
  documents which can be loaded by the XSLoader or
  null to permit XML Schema documents of any recognized
  version to be loaded by the XSLoader.
Throws:
XSException – 
  NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support one
  of the specified versions.
Returns:
 An XML Schema loader./**
