--- Description ---
Hi,

I've been hacking on libxml2 a bit including converting it to CMake and wou=
ld
like some input, there are some differences between current version and the=
 new
version that I'm not sure about on how to handle.

./work/stage/usr/local/lib/xml2Conf.sh
 -- CMAKE --
prefix is expanded
XML2_LIBS=3D"-lxml2 -lz -llzma -pthread	-lm"

 -- Autotools --
XML2_LIBS=3D"-lxml2 -lz  -L/usr/lib -llzma  -L/usr/lib  -lm"


./work/stage/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc
 -- CMAKE --
Libs.private:  -pthread -lz -llzma  -lm

 -- Autotools --
Libs.private:  -lz  -L/usr/lib -llzma -L/usr/lib -lm


Questions:
Is -L/usr/lib needed? From what I can tell CMake doesn't have a variable for
this, suggestions are welcome. In worst case we can hardcode it.

Current version in ports forces -DPIC cflag, is this needed?
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/textproc/libxml2/files/patch-Makefile.in

make test passes on 13-STABLE (amd64)

Motivation for moving to CMake is mainly because it's faster and much easie=
r to
debug, I do plan to upstream as many changes as possible but perhaps it's
futile effort?

I'm not sure how to handle py-libxml2 in a sane way. :/
