Missing test for libexpat in configure.in?

Hi!

First I wanna thank all guys involved with svn (Perhaps this is _not_ the
right place to get rid of this, but I really believe that it's a great piece
of software)

Well I checked out the head branch of the svn repository and tried to
compile it. Everything went fine except that libexpat thing - that left me
puzzled at first. To end the story quite quickly I have to admit that I
haven't had the development files of libexpat installed. So the header file
(expat.h) that seemed to be wrongly included by the #ifelse
SVN_HAVE_OLD_EXPAT (line 28) in the file subversions/libsvn_subr/xml.c was
right.

I quite don't know how the library detection code works that is used in
svn's configure script, but it seems to lack something in case the lib is
installed, but no header/.so link is installed/setup for that lib.

My distribution is debian (in case this is a debian problem only).

Hopefully my mumbling is at least a bit understandable
