Rob Biedenharn, in another context, reminded me that
exception-handling blocks can have an "else" clause. So you could do
the slightly simpler:

   begin
     require "xml"
   rescue LoadError
     puts "No xml library..."
   else
     class TestPhyloXML1 < Test::Unit::TestCase
       ...
     end
   end
