You're right - using pkg-config, not xml2-config, is the BCP. Any
Unix system with a libxml from the last few years should have this.

I think it's best to check for both... something like this would

$CFLAGS << " #{`xml2-config --cflags`.strip}"
$LIBS << " #{`xml2-config --libs`.strip}"
elsif !have_library('xml2') or !have_header('libxml/parser.h')
fail "missing dependencies"
end
I don't see why libraries still insist on legacy config scripts since
pretty much everyone uses pkg-config and it makes things so much
easier.
