Personally I'd rather we didn't expose libxml2 data types in our public
API, since it feels like an admission of defeat in our object model.
I just mentioned the .syms file, because I saw the symbols included
in the libvirt-gconfig/libvirt-gconfig-helpers.h header which presumably
will end up in /usr/include.
So if we want to avoid exposing libxml2 types in our API, we should
ensure the header file in question doesn't get installed in /usr/include
too.
