[xml] Release of libxml2-2.7.4

[Daniel Veillard <veillard redhat com>]

  Better late than never, but an awful lot of pending bug got fixed.
Still no major improvement except adding symbol versioning to libxml2
shared libs, which is fairy important for long term maintainance, but
not worth jumping to 2.8.0

   Tarball and signed rpms available at
     ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/
