Did we ever come to a conclusion whether we're going to provide a
version of PHP 5 that bundles libxml2?
Now that we're in RC, I think we should aim to produce packages that
are as identical to the final release as possible, so we don't end up
with any unexpected surprises later on in the process.
PHP 5 enables XML by default and we require a minimum version of
libxml2 2.5.10. I know many systems already have a copy of libxml2,
but I bet a lot of machines aren't running something that
recent. (Like Mac OS X 10.3, for instance.) This could lead to a lot
of calls to --disable-xml.

We'd need to have someone who'll maintain this by probably having a stable
libXML2 tarball someplace in our CVS, and then change makedist to create
the two packages (one with and one without libXML2). This should make
everyone happy as long as it's properly maintained.
