A good idea :)

Well, obviously the configure script doesn't detect properly where the
include files for the xml library are located.... I tried to
understand what exactly does configure do to detect the xml library
but with no success - I'm not good at shell scripting :( Still I
undestand that it uses an environment variable to allow the user to
pass custom  setting - XML2_CONFIG i think... Maybe you have this one
set ?

Well, it depends if you need this functionality i think :)
