That's what the --disable-nls configure option (added by gettext) is
for.  And I expect configure.ac can be set up so that it's disabled by
default, and --enable-nls is required to activate it.  So dependencies
are not really an issue (plus, gettextize adds a local copy of libintl
to the source tree, so all necessary code would be included in the
libxml2 tarball anyway).
