>Description:
After upgrading textproc/libxml2 from version 2.7.8_5 to version 2.7.8_0, a number of ports dependent on libxml2 will not compile.

One example is x11-toolkits/gtksourceview2. The following error is received:

  CCLD   test-widget
./gtksourceview/.libs/libgtksourceview-2.0.so: undefined reference to 
`xmlTextReaderRelaxNGValidate'
gmake[2]: *** [test-widget] Error 1

The only workaround I have found so far is to downgrade textproc/libxml2-2.7.8_0 to version 2.7.8_5 again (and downgrade /usr/ports/textproc/py-libxml2 to version 2-2.7.8_2 with it)
>How-To-Repeat:
Upgrade textproc/libxml2 from version 2.7.8_5 to version 2.7.8_0 (and textproc/py-libxml2 with it).

Try to recompile x11-toolkits/gtksourceview2 and other dependent ports
