Please also register this patch in gnu/local.mk.  Can you also add your
copyright at the top of xml.scm?

You can inherit another record in Scheme to avoid duplicating all the
fields.  Then the package can be shortened to:

  (define-public libxml2-xpath0
    (package/inherit libxml2
      (name "libxml2-xpath0")
      (source (origin
                (inherit (package-source libxml2))
                (patches (append (search-patches 
"libxml2-Add-option-xpath0.patch")
                                 (origin-patches (package-source libxml2))))))
      (description
       "...")))

We should fill out that description to mention how it differs from the
regular libxml2.  Can you give it a try?  I can make the other changes
on your behalf, but not sure what to write.

Thanks,
Marius
