libxml2 and libxlt are already part of the Qt source tree, part of 
QtWebEngine-chromium
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine-chromium.git/tree/chromium/third_party/libxml
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine-chromium.git/tree/chromium/third_party/libxslt

Reusing libxml2 and libxlt should actually cause code decrease.

Cheers,
Cristian.
