libxml2 python subport

[Khairil Yusof]

Some Zope ports, require libxml2 python bindings for python 2.1.

Currently with libxml2, you can only have a package with one version
only (specified at runtime).

bsd.python.mk, and most python ports, already support having multiple
versions with the same origin. eg. py21-foo, py23-foo with PKG_PREFIX

Looking in the ports tree, I see that databases/py-PyGreSQL solves this
problem by being a subport of datbases/postgresql7

I'm thinking of making a subport textproc/py-libxml2, so that instead
of a WITH_PYTHON knob, users can just build the libxml2 python package
as a port, and have python libxml2 packages for different python
versions if needed.

Is this the right way to do it? If it's ok, I'll start working on a
patch and port.
