Hello. Is this still true? The other distros I've looked at (Fedora, Debian, SuSE) link against expat and I have no problem building and using fontconfig on a system without libxml2 installed. If libxml2 is the preferred XML library why is it described as a fallback in the configure message and why aren't other distros using it?
