It doesn't mean that it has to be in the CVS tree, by the way - if we decide that checking out libxml (or untarring a certain version) is a standard part of getting a PHP source tree ready for development. From what I hear, putting libxml in our CVS is really a bad thing to do, because it's a very active project.
