[lmi] installing libxml2 with MSYS's bash

[Boutin, Wendy]

Vadim,

I am looking into using xmllint from libxml2-2.6.19 and
would like to know if you have any insight with respect
to the problem I have when doing 'make install'. There
are several xmllint binaries that get made, but the one 
I want is 
  /libxml2-2.6.19/.libs/xmllint.exe

This quoted email discussion describes the reason for what
we want and problem I have with 'make install':

I've searched the libxml2 mailing list for help, but I didn't find 
any solutions. Greg suggested you know more about this than he does, 
which is why I'm asking you. Do you know if this is a platform problem
or if I have to do something different?
