The xml stuff isn't included in most RPMs because "make -C contrib all"
does not build it by default, which is because there's no support in the
main configure script for seeing whether libxml is available.
It happens that I just fixed the Fedora RPMs to build contrib/xml2:

I don't suppose I can talk you into switching distros ;-), but you could
probably pull down the Fedora SRPM, do a quick rpmbuild --rebuild, and
be good to go. See

I'm sure you realize exactly how silly this sort of thing is,
but please point out to your corporate lawyers that if I took
their words as meaning anything at all, I could not have answered
your question. Some day I'm going to start a boycott movement
against answering any email that has this kind of BS attached to it
... but *especially* when it's sent to a public mailing list.
