  What system/distribution are you using ???

This drives me nuts, each time one tries to fixe the dependancies
to zlib, the new patch break on a different setup.
Can someone *knowledgeable* about this issue have a look and fix it
for once, the automake/autoconf stuff is just completely confusing on
this issue. Also all programs using libxml should use xml-config --libs
to get the appropriate libraries needed at link time.
