Looking for libxml++-5.0 before falling back to libxml++-2.6. #411

As pointed out in #193, the usage of libxml++-5.0 gives no problems. I have successfully tested the usage of a statically linked version libxml++-5.0, so why not use it if it is available in the system?

I am doing that for Yocto currently - which distribution in the wild did you find that actually used libxml++5?

gian21391 commented 7 months ago

I'm using libxml++5 shipped with vcpkg. (PS: I've also packaged this repository as a library in my registry to be used in my project).

The slight problem we have is that we would need to support it in all other depending projects as well and that isn't plain sailing for the rest, e.g. https://github.com/ChimeraTK/meta-chimeratk/blob/master/recipes-applicationcore/applicationcore/applicationcore/0001-Bump-libxml-to-5.0.patch and https://github.com/ChimeraTK/meta-chimeratk/blob/master/recipes-applicationcore/controlsystemadapter/controlsystemadapter/0001-Bump-libxml-version-to-5.0.patch
