[libxml-devel] problem with version .98 on Mac OS X

[Joe Khoobyar]

Yes, it's checked in.  I've been using -- --with-xml2-config on the Mac 
as the arguments to gem install or ruby setup.rb in the extension 
directory.  I'll make this the default in HEAD since it seems like this 
is the desirable behavior - especially with so many people using 
MacPorts, or Gentoo Portage, to manage their development tools environment.
