Why not use --with-xml[=path] so that if you do --with-xml it uses
bundled Expat, and you can also supply optional path to external Expat.

BTW, your changes to Makefile.in broke my build - it found external
Expat and used it first but the included header file made all XML
function names start with php_ so there were linking problems.
