hfst-ospell only depends on libarchive, and doesn't even need to do that.
You can build without any 3rd party libs, if you package the spellers raw
instead of in a compressed archive.

There is no strong dependency to any XML library. I removed that, as it
wasn't actually used for anything besides showing manifest information.
