Description:
------------
Hello,

assume, libxml2 is not installed on a box.

Regards,
Carsten


Reproduce code:
---------------
If I use:
| % ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar --disable-all

"configure" and "make && make install" works fine. Thus we can say:
libxml2 is not necessary for PHP.

Now I just use:
| % ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar

and "configure" stops with:
| configure: error: xml2-config not found.\
| Please check your libxml2 installation.


Expected result:
----------------
"configure" should notice that libxml2 is not availible, and should just   disable the extensions which need this library and not stop the build process.

This is just how it works, nothing unexpected or buggy here.
There are several xml extensions which are enabled by default. If you don't want them, just disable them. Or do what you did and always use --disable-all and enable what you really need.
