The 'libxml' subdirectory is only useful for the Windows Visual Studio 
build.  It is indeed libxml2 edited to work with Visual Studio and the 
GraphicsMagick build.

It would be nice if directories like 'libxml' were not in the core 
GraphicsMagick repository but when I was integrating the repository, I 
did not find a good way to assemble a Visual Studio build environment 
from 'parts' at the time.
