Please disregard my earlier email today. I apparently have issues matching up my zlib include and lib dirs :)

Your test: 

 ./xmllint ./test/ebcdic_566012.xml
./test/ebcdic_566012.xml:1: parser error : Unsupported encoding IBM-1141
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM-1141" ?>
                                       ^
So I assume this tests assumes the OS will support an encoding that older distros did not ship? Is there a 
way to get the test to skip these if the encoding is not present on the OS?

Thanks,
Todd
