Aha! configure is trying to do the right thing, but gnome-config
is lying to it:

   bash-2.03$ echo "XML libs are `gnome-config --libs xml`"
   XML libs are 
   bash-2.03$ 

The problem is that gnome-config is broken when using Solaris'
/usr/bin/tr, and fails to properly pull out values from xmlConf.sh.
So, there's apparantly some difference between Solaris tr and
GNU tr.

The following patch fixes things on Solaris, at least.  I don't
have a Linux system handy to test this on, so I don't know how
general the solution is.
