Emacs 24.1.50, bzr revno 108131 on Windows 7.

I have compiled Emacs with libxml support, but the libxml2 library is
not anywhere where Emacs can find it.  When I pull up an HTML message
the article buffer is blank (does not contain anything, except the mail
header, I think) and the mini buffer says "libxml2 not found".

If libxml2 is not found I think gnus should fall back to the same
behavior as if libxml support was not compiled in and show the raw HTML 
markup.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and post the resulting
backtrace.

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
