There's no real issue here. As long as /usr/athena comes first in the
GNOME path, our version of libxml will be found in preference to the
system one; similarly, assuming /usr/athena is first in the PATH,
/usr/athena/bin/xml-config will be found in preference to
/usr/bin/xml-config.
I will remove libxml-devel in 9.0.20 if it doesn't cause any
conflicts.
