Actually, scratch that.

I just did a quick test of with and without -lxml2 in the initial compile of 
apxs.  In either case, libxml2.a is not statically linked.

The only difference seems to be that if you specify -lxml2, then that library 
is added to the dynamic load list for the shared object... and if you don't, 
then it must be explicitly loaded with the LoadFile called out in the config 
file.

Since the config file calls it out explicitly, and since it's normally loaded 
up manually anyway on other platforms, I'm inclined to stick with the slightly 
more complicated way of loading libxml2.so up explictly... just to be 
compatible with other distros.
