In PyXML 0.6, setup.py would indeed detect that Python provides
pyexpat and therefore no compilation is needed.

In 0.6.1, I will re-enable Fredrik Lundh's sgmlop module, so a
compiler will again be required. However, I plan to distribute the
output of 'setup.py bdist_wininst', so Windows users get a nice
installer interface.

Now, if somebody could tackle the issue of building extension modules
on Mac OS X, I could change our bug report from "other people's
problem" to "fixed".
