This looks like it probably works as far as the actual build goes, but
could we change configure's call of xmllint likewise? On a lot of my test
machines (where, as a rule, I don't install DocBook; but xmllint may exist
anyway), that probe for the docbook DTDs is the slowest step in configure,
and not by a small margin.
Actually, I kinda wonder why we bother probing for that at all; it doesn't
look like anything is done with have_docbook.
