  if you run ./configure you will see a variety of options. If you're doing
embedded work you can very seriously trim down the size of the library using
them. The dependancy to libdl is needed for dynamic modules support, which
can be turned off by configuring with --without-modules option. Concerning
linking, you should use xml2-config --libs to get the dependancies based
on the options compiled locally.
