You could put it in inst/libs. But we discourage that.

As I understand it, several package maintainers have set up arrangements with Uwe Ligges to do this, based on DLLs they have supplied him. Package XML being an example, so I suspect Uwe already knows all about libxml2. You could actually avoid this by depending on XML and arranging to have XML/libs in the PATH at load time. -- Brian D.
