I've found and "fixed" a minor installation glitch for libxml 2.2.5 under
SunOS 5.6. It appears that there are two versions of the test utility
under SunOS, and one of them is broken. The /usr/bin/test version of
the utility recognizes the -e option, but the /bin/test version does
not. It will be pot-luck which one any given user has in their path
first - and if the broken version is found, the configure script will
fail.

What I did to make this work was to change the configure script to use
-r rather than -e (the change is just the difference between "exists"
and "exists and is readable"). Hopefully, this will be portable to
other systems with a broken test utility as well...as long as Daniel
thinks it's safe.

Below my signature is a patch for configure.in. I think I've provided
the right kind of context diff, but let me know if there are problems
with it (it worked for me when I tested it).
