4XPath is currently separately maintained. If it became part of the
Python source, I would expect that to become the canonical version. The
issue here isn't third party libraries its quantity of source and the
fact that it is a mix of Bison/FLEX/C/Python. If it were six hundred
lines of pure Python I think we would have checked it in already!
