  There is some redundancy. The file is generated from libxml-2.0.pc.in:

Cflags: -I${includedir}/libxml2 @XML_INCLUDEDIR@ @XML_CFLAGS@

and configure.in shows

XML_INCLUDEDIR='-I${includedir}/libxml2'
[...]
    XML_INCLUDEDIR="${XML_INCLUDEDIR} -I$with_iconv/include"
[...]
AC_SUBST(XML_INCLUDEDIR)

  It seems the first -I${includedir}/libxml2 in libxml-2.0.pc.in could
be removed, true, but the original mail didn't say why, it's always
dangerous to make such changes without a real check. And the actual 
change suggested was just wrong actually IMHO.
