perl Makefile.pl INC=-Ic:\libxml2\include LIBS=-Lc:\libxml2\lib

Get rid of the insane Makefile.PL that comes with the distro, and replace it with: 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(
    NAME        => 'XML::LibXML::Common',
    VERSION_FROM    => 'Common.pm', # finds $VERSION
    AUTHOR        => 'Christian Glahn <christian.glahn@uibk.ac.at>',
    ABSTRACT      => 'Routines and Constants common for XML::LibXML an
+d XML::GDOME',
    LIBS          => '-lxml2',
);

[download]
Then run perl Makefile.pl INC="-Ic:/libxml2/include" LIBS="-Lc:/libxml2/lib -lxml2"
Because there's now a space in the LIBS arg, you need to enclose that arg in double quotes. You don't really need double quotes around the INC arg (as it contains no spaces), but I always put them in anyway. Not sure if the backslashes need to be escaped or not - so I just use forward slashes as the path separator to avoid the worry.

That should now work if you're building against a dynamic library (dll). The dll does, of course, need to be in your path. (I'm finding that the module won't build against a static lib as it expects to find a dll ... and I haven't yet worked out why it has that expectation.)

Cheers,
Rob
