While reading the man page of xml2-config, I was surprised to see the text
"Add the --static option to print the linker flags that are necessary to statically
link a GNOME-XML program." for the --version option. Running xml2-config with the
- - --help option, I see that it belongs to --libs. Could the man page be fixed?

I suggest to create the man page during package building by using help2man, as the
current man-page seems to be outdated with respect to the available options.
