Based on that, here's a new suggestion:
Do exactly that in an addition to the python modules, e.g. called
'pyxml (Python2 version)' -
Make that depend on libxml2, and continue to do the python3 module
there.
For the python2 module, untar, cd, run those commands. I've already
installed libxml2 so that was easy to test with a --root=
DESTDIR-style install. I didn't time it (the machine is still
building other things), but it is clearly a lot quicker.
Link users to this (so far, optional for libxslt and required for
gimp-help).
