Description

Compilation of DCMTK 3.6.2 static binaries on Linux, i.e. with LDFLAGS = -static, fails when libxml2 support is enabled.
Apparently libxml2 depends on liblzma, so XMLLIBS = -lxml2 -llzma is needed instead of the current XMLLIBS = -lxml2.
For some reasone, this does not cause compile errors when libxml2 is dynamically linked.

Since libxml2 can (as far as I know) be compiled without lzma support, the preferrable solution would be to add
a configure test for the presence of liblzma. If the library is found, -llzma should be added to XMLLIBS.
