+Subject: [PATCH] src/node_type.h: add `#include <libxml/tree.h>` for
+ `xmlNodePtr` type
+
+Without the change build fails on `libxml2-2.12.3` as:
+
+    ../../src/node_type.h:62:64: error: unknown type name 'xmlNodePtr'; did you mean 'nodePtr'?
+       62 |         void            (*export)               (nodePtr node, xmlNodePtr cur, gboolean trusted);
+          |                                                                ^~~~~~~~~~
