Using a loadfile is certainly not the way to go in fedora. Linking against
libxml2 doesn't only add an automatic requires, this is a mere side effect
of adding the soname dependency on the right libxml2 version in the binary
(something along libxml2.so.2). The binary will refuse to run if the libxml2
shared object with the right version isn't found.

There are ways to use another library at runtime (certainly by setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH), using LoadFile (which certainly does a dlopen) is not
right. 

Ther are cases where using LoadFile or similar are right (like plugins
for example), but here it doesn't seems to be the case at all.
