[xslt] ./configure --with-libxml-src not finding libs

[Jason Viers <lists beanalby net>]

When using the --with-libxml-src option to configure, it sets the 
following variables:

               XML_CONFIG=${SRC_DIR}/xml2-config
               LIBXML_CFLAGS="-I${SRC_DIR}/include"
               LIBXML_LIBS="-L${SRC_DIR}"


The first two work fine, but when I compile libxml2 2.6.31, it places 
the libs in ${SRC_DIR}/.libs, not ${SRC_DIR}, so the install step (where 
it actually links) fails unless I instead set --with-libxml-libs-prefix 
to libxml2dir/.libs (and the include & bin directories accordingly).

Is this something that changed, or is there something wacky in my 
setup/process?
