[Brad <brad@comstyle.com>]

Ok, looks like the author finally clued in and changed the library name
from libxml.??? to libxml2.??? for libxml 2.x so this should be quite easy
todo now. We should create a libxml1 port for GNOME if anyone actually
plans on getting some working ports of the remaining bits and pieces for
it.
