Summary: PyExpat still uses Expat version 1.1

Details: PyExpat should be upgraded to Expat 1.2.

Expat 1.2 changes adds support for parsing external DTDs and parameter entities.

The xml.dom.ext.PyExpat reader (once unbroken ;)) already supports the additional interface for Expat 1.2 (XML_StartDoctypeDeclHandler -> Reader.startDTD).

This functionailty is needed to parse out the public and system Ids of a <!DOCTYPE> declaration, for example.
