[xslt] Fwd: FYI: local install of XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT

[S Woodside <sbwoodside yahoo com>]

Whoops, wrong mail address again (OS X).

A little more detail .. the problem with XML::LibXML not detecting the  
library was the same problem with xsubpp although it took a while to  
figure that out. The Makefile.PL generated a Conftest.PL type test to  
see if the library was available. Makefile.PL generated a Makefile with  
the hard-coded path in it, which is why I said it was a MakeMaker  
problem. changing to this
XSUBPPDIR = /home/simon/local/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils
made the problem go away.
