[sldev] Let xmlrpc-epi use already installedversion of expat.

[Guido]

The proposed method on the wiki changes the sources (while it will build 
without these changes) and the generated Makefiles (they are not present in 
the tarball). IMHO that is a bad patch.

My patch only changes the input files (Makefile.am and configure.in), so that 
the configure scipt properly checks for the presence of expat and the 
Makefiles will be generated correctly. It is still possible to build the 
samples and test code too.
