I think this is (a) part of an attempt to make gconf work with libxml 2.x
(b) a patch to make gconf use the EXTREMELY BROKEN (Daniel, are you
listening) libxml include path setup...

I REALLY WISH that libxml would refer to its header files in the same way
gtk/bonobo/all-the-other-packages-in-the-world do. I think the main reason
it doesn't is because of problems getting it to find its header files when
building source. I know how to fix it if Daniel wants help (hint hint :)
