Ah. I've got it working with libxml2 now - more changed than just renaming
childs, though, which explains the errors you saw.

The display layout was one option (eg 'Large+Summary').
Now it's two options, one for the size and one for the details type.

OK, I've added a big error message in case anyone else tries to run
configure manually... (note: people upgrading CVS will need to rerun
AppRun --compile the first time to get round the error).

Hopefully it's all fixed now, although older versions of libxml may have
stopped working?
