Matthieu Herrb and I and working on a comprehensive solution for a few
modules in that situation. 
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-January/004536.html

Excerpt:

        So I'm proposing to add a generic test to xorg-macros.m4 and
        replace the 3
        
        lines that are found in app/xfs, lib/libXcomposite, lib/libXfont, lib/libXi
        and lib/libXtst by XORG_WITH_XMLTO: like this:


Your post confirms the need for this work to be completed. In the mean
time, you can invoke configure with XMLTO=/usr/bin/xmlto on the command
line. This overrides the test so it won't fail even if the tool is not
found.

Thanks
Gaetan
