What does everybody think of the alternative (which Peter snipped here):
An alternative would be to remove the choice completely, and to take the
path of bluez-utils: select BR2_PACKAGE_EXPAT if !BR2_PACKAGE_DBUS_LIBXML2
Advantage: no redundant expat library if the user has selected libxml2
Disadvantage: what happens when the user has selected both libxml2 and
expat? (My answer: dbus will use libxml2)
Regards,
Arnout
