It's good to leave some kind of prefix on tested values like that,
since the $with_libxml value is user-settable.
I.e., with your change, --with-libxml=-lt causes
a syntax error in the configure script:

    ./configure: line 27674: test: -z: integer expression expected

not that it matters much, because the very next thing
that happens is this:

    checking libxml2 -lt/bin/xml2-config >= 2.5.0 ... configure: error: \
      Could not find libxml2 anywhere (see config.log for details).

Otherwise (modulo long lines: max in the file is 260!), +1.
max in your patch is over 100.
