The Expat code is bundled on Windows, but not in the 2.2.x sources.
This changes with Python 2.3, when Expat is always included.

For Python 2.2.x, the pyexpat binding is built when the Expat library
is already installed in a standard location on the build host.

The easiest and most reliable way to get Expat/pyexpat for Python 2.0
through 2.2.x is to build and install PyXML 0.8.
