Description:
------------
I believe that there are issues with expat and php5.  First I'm aware that expat is no longer bundled and the flag --with-libexpat-dir is deprecated.

But if I use the deprecated flag on some systems xml functions will work at runtime.  On other systems the following error occurs when being configured
configure: error: libxml2 version 2.5.10 or greater required. This error happens with the use of  --disable-libxml.

Using the new flag --with-expat-dir there are no issues at compile time on the solaris or linux system used but at runtime the following error is produced:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create()

Reproduce code:
---------------
command line with old flag:
./configure --prefix=$Prefix --with-mysql=$Prefix --with-curl=$Prefix --with-apxs2=$Prefix/bin/apxs --with-gd  --with-png-dir=$Prefix --with-zlib --disable-debug --disable-libxml --with-libexpat-dir=$Prefix --enable-shared --enable-dbase && make && make install

command line with new flag:

./configure --prefix=$Prefix --with-mysql=$Prefix --with-curl=$Prefix --with-apxs2=$Prefix/bin/apxs --with-gd  --with-png-dir=$Prefix --with-zlib --disable-debug --disable-libxml --with-expat-dir=$Prefix --enable-shared --enable-dbase && make

Works fine here - no error at compile time and function exists (libxml2 is not installed at all).
