And then libxml2.lib changes its dependencies in the future, how do we 
cope?

This is the wrong question to ask. The right question is: in which 
*installed* file does libxml2.lib store its dependency information? Is it 
the lib itself? Does the linker automatically link to the dependencies? 
If not, how can we extract the information from it?
