textproc/libxml2 does not install libxml2.so.5

Hi,

I'm trying to use textproc/libxml2 from ports, but it seems, that some 
files are missing after installation.

Subsequently, installing textproc/libxslt fails due to a missing 
libxml2.so.5, for example.

My /etc/make.conf is empty.  I'm a  bit reluctant to 'fix' this by 
symlinking, and besides that, libxml2.so.5 is listed in the pkg-plist of 
libxml2, so I assume something goes wrong locally or the port might need 
some attention.

I've updated the ports tree on the machine just a few minutes ago.

Here's some more information:

Hints and/or pointers welcome.
