  I have seens and received in the history of libxml maybe a dozen
different configure.in patches to detect and link this damn library.
None of them ever worked everywhere. If you have and can test a
configure.in sections which allows to do this and works:

  - on linux Red Hat
  - on linux SuSE
  - on Solaris
  - on BSD
  - on OSF1
  - on HP-UX
  - on SGI

Then I will be very glad to receive such a piece of code !
Usually when it finally works everywhere else it ends up breaking
on SuSE, no idea why !
