Then go on with your stuff. Distribute it if you like. You will have to 
build your own binaries of libxml2.

Using these iconv and zlib libraries, or not using them, is a 
compile-time decision. Those binaries I build and distribute will 
require iconv and zlib for all times. Their presence will be required 
even if their functionality is never used.
