The packages should be separate, but since xsl may or may not be  
available, it seemed like an easier build config to manage if the two  
are separated, with different extconf.rb files. Since they build  
different .so objects, the directory partition reflects the library  
output.

libxslt should, without doubt, internally require 'libxml' and raise  
a LoadError (i think) if it cannot, since all document objects are  
dependent on libxml.
