Well...
1) it doesn't need an XML library that is not in 10.1: libxml2 is used
by tons of other packages and is obviously shipped with SUSE (including
10.1)
2) the only issue is that the configure script doesn't detect the
libxml2 headers as being under /usr/include/libxml2 (I guess other
distributions package it under /usr/include instead)

I already sent a mail that explains how to build aria2.
The trick is as simple as
export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libxml2"
./configure ... && make && make install

Finding out how I built it is as simple as unpacking the src.rpm and
having a look at the .spec file.

Indeed. It's a good CLI parallel/segmented downloader too (and it does
bittorrent).
