I agree that plenty of distros aren't up-to-date and face this issue, but 2.7.3 is well over a year old. And Ubuntu 10.4 (new distro) installs 2.7.6 whereas the current version is 2.7.7. And although --disable-libxml-check was also added to the doc build system, we must take into account the errors ("feature") that 2.7.4+ forced upon us.
I'm not asking/suggesting Windows builds to upgrade libxml in 5_3 (I reckon it's not a simple matter in a stable branch) but am only explaining why we have the check now. Summary: 2.7.4+ killed the PHP Manual builds, and it's fixed now, but we must prevent others from accidentally committing similar errors.
