[vlc] Issue with XML support and .SRT subtitles not working

[Brad Smith]

Hi,

I am looking for any assistance in trying to determine why the .SRT 
subtitless support is not working with VLC on OpenBSD. VLC as provided 
via the OpenBSD port / package seems to print the following error upon 
starting up...

$ vlc
VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b)
[0x13d9eb816d58] main xml reader error: XML reader not found

Searching for this error I came across hits via Google indicating that 
some other OS's do not necessarily build with libxml2 support depending 
on certain conditions like Gentoo's USE flags and enabling the libxml2 
support resolved the message and the non working .SRT subtitles support, 
but OpenBSD's port / package builds with libxml2 unconditionally.

Any suggestions?
