Just for an update, I've checked in build support code to limit the symbols 
exported from the cDomlettec.so Python module.  It should now be able to be 
used within mod_python without conflicts (at least on platforms that have a 
fairly recent toolchain (2003+).

Raphael, please try latest CVS without applying the patch to build against 
libexpat.  Is there someplace that lists a process that would reproduce the 
conflict/error within mod_python that prompted the patch in the first place?  
I would really like to be able to test this myself as I now run on a 
Debian-based distro (Kubuntu).
