xmllint is ignoring --output FILE option. I've done a debug run with gdb and it
correctly reads the option and assigns its value to the 'output' variable but
doesn't read that variable before writing the output. Confirmed with gdb's
hardware watch `awatch output`. The final trace before the output is written to
stdout is:
3701 if (repeat) {
(gdb) n
3724 nbregister = 0;
(gdb) n
3727 if (stream != 0)
(gdb) n
3731 if (sax) {
(gdb) n
3734 parseAndPrintFile(argv[i], NULL);
