Libxml2 and Python

Hi

In the libxml page we have currently this note:

"Some packages which utilize libxml2 (such as GNOME
Doc Utils) need the Python 
module installed to function properly. "

But lbxml2 is a required dependency for GNOME Doc Utils
(ScrollKeeper --> 
libxslt --> libxml2)

Based on that, I think that Python should be a Recommended
libxml2 dependency.


PD: As a side effect, that change will prevent the circular
dependency lbxml2 
--> lbxslt --> libxml2 in the new jhalfs code (under
development) while 
allowing to build the Python module.

PD2: The above jhalfs fix could be achieved also by other
ways, like removing 
role="optional" from the second optional
dependencies block.
