libxml2-xpath0 is probably better indeed, I don't have a strong
opinion.
Can you send an updated patch? :-)
Thanks,
Marius

You can inherit another record in Scheme to avoid duplicating all the
fields. Then the package can be shortened to:
(define-public libxml2-xpath0
(package/inherit libxml2
(name "libxml2-xpath0")
(source (origin
(inherit (package-source libxml2))
(patches (append (search-patches
"libxml2-Add-option-xpath0.patch")
(origin-patches (package-source
libxml2))))))
(description
"...")))
We should fill out that description to mention how it differs from the
regular libxml2. Can you give it a try? I can make the other changes
on your behalf, but not sure what to write.
Thanks,
Marius
