This is a script Ive used to compile PHP for a while.  However, how, I noticed as its doing its config it seems to get upset. It says.

configure: error: Please reinstall the libxml >= 2.4.14 distribution
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

At this point, it dies, I dont want XML support, I dont use, nor am I likely to use XML..

Expected result:
----------------
I expected it to build, as the system has recent enoguh components that Im trying to use and install.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP wont compile.

This is not acceptible to be forced to compile in or upgrade parts of my system I dont want PHP to use.
