Well it does detect if libxml2 is missing, or too old, but I'm still not
sure what is wrong with the version shipped with Suse. I can only assume
it's a non-standard version, but I don't know how we can test for that.
Are there any obvious differences between the Suse and non-Suse versions
that you can see (assuming you have both around still)?

I guess you mean OGL & STC, rather than libpq. But yes, we're happy to
accept patches to improve configure and appreciate any contributions you
might make.
