  hey, it's not your fault !
Since libxml2.def.src is automatically generated, I think we should
add a default rule in the existing makefiles to rebuild it automatically.
Since adding Makefile.am and co. in win32 is likely to generate more
troubles, I think simply adding a rule in the doc/Makefile.am based
on libxml2-api.xml and $(srcdir)/../win32/defgen.xsl might be the simplest
way to avoid such problem in the future, what do you think ?
