Note that - because of this concern precisely - the XML library
dependency is optional.  It would have saved a lot of hassle if it
weren't, but that's a choice we've already made and I think it was
the right choice.

Once the user says they do want to build in XML support, I don't think
that which XML library they need to go build is particularly
important.
