Why not doing it like Mysql is done? ie. change it to --with-xml and if no path is issued, use bundled library. And maybe issue a warning about it..? Or have both --with-xml and --enable-xml (on by default).

Sablotron _never_ builds the expat under source tree, but supposes, that you have installed Expat library in your system. -------8<------------- --Jani
