No, I meant a third state of static. So you can choose between "no",
"normal static" and "static for DLL".
Because the library is different when being compiled only with
LIBXML_STATIC or with LIBXML_STATIC and LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL. Not
having the latter may cause problems, when linking the static lib into a
DLL (see some earlier posts to the list).
But as Stéphane pointed out, you can't have LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL
defined along with HAVE_COMPILER_TLS.

to sum it up

static
no - no defines
normal - LIBXML_STATIC
dll - LIBXML_STATIC and LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL (warning if
HAVE_COMPILER_TLS is defined?)

Not sure, if it should be part of the configure.js or not, but it would
have helped a few weeks ago, if it jumped right into my face when I
looked at the configuraion ;)
