Yes yes, the AM_PATH_XML2 is what it responsible for doing the substitution
of those two.

So why isn't libmxl2 installed in /usr/ ?

If you whant aclocal to find the m4 files in /usr/local/share/aclocal too
then you'll have to supplied that as a -I option when invoking aclocal.
From the 'info aclocal' page:

`-I DIR'
     Add the directory DIR to the list of directories searched for
     `.m4' files.

and 

`--print-ac-dir'
     Prints the name of the directory which `aclocal' will search to
     find third-party `.m4' files.  When this option is given, normal
     processing is suppressed.  This option can be used by a package to
     determine where to install a macro file.

if you want to see what is searched now.

I guess would could bundle the libxml.m4 file too with Ogle but then
it would be stuck at that version rather than use the one that is installed
on the build system...
