I think that  `xml2-config --libs` , which outputs -L options (that go
into LDFLAGS) and -l options (that go into LDADD) together, does not
play well with automake that expects them separately.
If xml2-config had separate --ldflags and --libs options, it would
have been easier for you. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
