xmlroff is unusual in that it bundles PangoXSL, on which it depends.

Bundling PangoXSL with xmlroff is supposed to make it easier to build xmlroff
compared to having to separately find and build PangoXSL before building
xmlroff, but it appears to be creating more problems than it solves.

There's also been a report of build failure after running 'configure' twice,
so the bundling method obviously needs more work.

As always, suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Tony.
