I've been read the changelog for libxml2 for debian and it looks that
the right way to do it is to include "libxml/file.h".

debian have patched xml2-config to maintain compatibility to last patch.
(I mean, they've once patched to be like that, and now they "have" to
have xml2-config to behave like that)

But please everybody test it and say if it's still buggy.
(I know that it fixes redhat and mandrake, debian is ok any way)
