Ok Good point...  Guess i was a bit too fanatic in installing new
things. :)

configure goes fine, no problems at all.. In fact most defines in the
Makefiles point to the includes from xml2 (../include/libxml ).. Good
thing evolution explicitly includes <gnome-xml/...> 

Compile goes wrong.. But is appears the changes are relatively small to
make it work. 

Maybe it would be an idea to include a check for the xml version in the
configure.
