Updated libxml2 to 2.7.8, adding patches to fix shared library versioning (similar to the one in Rawhide) and another to support building the python bindings with python versions older than 2.4, which don't have the sorted() function:
- Various bug fixes, including potential crashes
- New non-destructive formatting option
- Date parsing updated to RFC 5646
