[PATCH util-macros] XORG_WITH_XMLTO: add HAVE_XMLTO_TEXT for text output format

Thu Jun 24 15:25:08 PDT 2010


The xmlto program has dependencies when converting docbook XML
to text format. It requires either lynx, links or w3m
text web browsers.

Users want to skip the text format to avoid having to install these.

I added an unrelated comment in the test above for readability.
