I think it's best to check for both... something like this would be ideal
if pkg_config('libxml-2.0')
elsif find_executable('xml2-config')
$CFLAGS << " #{`xml2-config --cflags`.strip}"
$LIBS << " #{`xml2-config --libs`.strip}"
elsif !have_library('xml2') or !have_header('libxml/parser.h')
fail "missing dependencies"
end
