> This is becoming a pain point on multiple dev platforms, so we need to switch
> to something modern. On MacOS, libxml2 no longer builds on Mojave with
> out-of-the-box tools, because /usr/include and /usr/lib have been removed
> from the system. You can build it by running an installer package that Apple
> includes with the tools _for the time being_, but it's going away, and BTW
> having these directories causes problems with other packages (OpenSSL). On
> Windows, the libxml build has a custom build step that _runs a javascript
> file from the command line_, so if anything moves the .js file association
> away from the windows scripting host (many, many applications do this, not
> least of which is Webstorm IDE), you can't build libxml2 without swapping
> back file associations manually. In short, it hurts when we do this, so
> let's not do this any more.
