I've applied to master, thanks. However, it's worth mentioning that:

 1. My patch had in fact been merged upstream
 (https://sourceforge.net/p/xmlstar/code/ci/0380e4d1e2d02aec868b7199e71bbe56e8161223/)
 even if I agree it's by far not the best solution.

 2. The proper solution would be to improve the configure.ac script to
 use pkg-config directly. But since upstream is not very active, and
 hasn't done a release since 2014, I can understand that you may not
 been very motivated to do this work.

Thanks,

Thomas
