Thanks, this works for me.  At some point we might need to do this more
honestly, ie add a configure probe and do

#ifdef HAVE_XMLXPATHSETCONTEXTNODE
       xmlXPathSetContextNode(cur, xtCxt->xpathcxt);
#else
       xtCxt->xpathcxt->node = cur;
#endif

but that can probably wait until libxml does something that breaks
the direct-assignment coding.  If the latter is the way you were
supposed to do it before, I think they'd be hesitant to break it.

                        regards, tom lane
