Yeah, there are some weird cross dependencies along that. The MSVC
build system really expects you to have libxml+libxslt+iconv all
installed to really get any of them to work. I originally had them all
work the same, but that didn't work, so I just put that in place -
blame being lazy for that. It may well be that it works now due to
other changes around the build system, but originally that hack was
required to make it build at all with XML. But it's good news if it's
not needed anymore and they can all work the same :-)
