Andi beat me to it, but I very much think in the same way. If we kept a .tar.gz in CVS of the 'blessed' libxml2 version, that would become a part of the release tarball during makedist, it would have solved this dependency issue once and for all, and ensure that a given version of PHP behaves in the same way (at least as far XML is concerned) everywhere.
