But scrollkeeper is TOO strict dependicy -- many people may want to
install docbook-xml, xhtml and other XML collections WITHOUT
scrollkeeper/libxml2/other gnome stuff -- for Saxon, for example.
And it is not good idea to force them have libxml2 installed.
BTW, here are good XML catalogs for docbook and XHTML and I'll add them to
ports (PRs will be prepared tonorrow).
