0001-Move-XML_CONFIG-assignment-to-unbreak-xslt-config.patch

Hello,

This was reported downstream at https://bugs.gentoo.org/630784.

The problem is that if libxml2 is found via pkgconfig, LIBXML_MANUAL_SEARCH is set to no which skips XML_CONFIG assignment, thus xslt-config gets broken.

See highlighted code at https://github.com/GNOME/libxslt/blob/master/configure.in#L508-L535

To keep things coherent, I attach a patch that moves this assignment outside this if because I expect people that use these scripts to want this chaining behavior rather than instanciating pkgconfig or getting a copy of the flags of the libxml2 detected at build time.
