Idea was sort of to remove the need for that.  I will respond to Igor's mail 
about that.

This probably will break MSVC and Borland.  Also non-libtool-enabled builds 
might also break,
as "-fPIC -DPIC" is added by libtool, but ignored by gcc on win32 as all code 
on x86-win32 is already
position independent.

Not sure what to suggest with this, but to check that with reverted commit that 
xmlsec is indeed
built with -DLIBXML_STATIC if linking to the static version of the library.
