libxml-parser-perl is intentionally not using the perl-package
infrastructure, because we don't want to require building host-perl to
build host-intltool.

Some libxml-parser-perl is using the system-wide Perl, which is a
mandatory Buildroot dependency.

Perhaps we should add a comment in libxml-parser-perl.mk to explain
this.

Best regards,

Thomas
