--with-libxml build failures on OS X

jackal's builds have been failing since xml.c started using
xmlSaveToBuffer. It turns out that xmlSaveToBuffer is not yet
implemented in the version of libxml2 that comes with OS X (10.4.8), but
it is being implicitly defined during the build.

The version of libxml2 on jackal is 2.6.21, but the requisite function
was implemented in 2.6.23. The version of libxml used can be found in
libxml/xmlversion.h in numerous forms.

I have changed it so that it checks for xmlSaveToBuffer in configure and
mentions the minimum required version.
