Oh.  I would not have guessed that.

So now in configure.in I'm using:

   LIBXML2_OBJS="libswishindex_la-parser.lo"

That's kind of ugly.  

Since "parser" is listed in libswishindex_la_LIBADD I would have thought
libswishindex_la_CPPFLAGS would apply.

Doesn't make configure.in very clean, either.  Would be better if
configure didn't have to know that libtool was in use when defining
LIBXML2_OBJS.  Perhaps it will make more sense to me as I learn more about
automake and libtool.

Thanks very much for your time.
