buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
* Bug fixes.
* Do not output hexadecimal charrefs when serializing HTML since some version
of Netscape can't grok it, generate decimal ones.
* Moved includes to includedir/libxml2/libxml.
* Added a --convert option to xmlcatalog to convert SGML ones to the XML
syntax.
* Added a catalog PI.
pkg/13929 where xml2-config lies about the location of the libxml2
headers. "xml2-config --cflags" now returns:
-I/usr/pkg/include/libxml2/libxml -I/usr/pkg/include
which correctly finds the libxml2 headers. When using buildlink, the
config wrapper xml2-config returns:
-I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include/libxml -I/usr/pkg/include
which correctly finds the libxml2 headers in their buildlinked locations.
