[xml] libxml2 and pthreads

[Ben Greear <greearb candelatech com>]

Hello!

While porting some code forward from RH 9 to FC 2, I noticed
that anything I linked with libxml also needed to be linked
with pthreads.  For various reasons I do not want to link against
pthreads, so I am curious to know what is the preferred method of
building/finding a pthread-less libxml?

With most other libraries, any locking is done by the calling code.
Why did libxml see the need to pull pthreads internal?

Thanks,
Ben
