This installation does not have a PyXML-provided pyexpat.  Hmm.  I'm
not sure what release started to always build pyexpat... ah, the log
tells me that we added that *after* 0.7.1 was released!

So, this is a real bug in 0.7.1, but has already been fixed in CVS by
ensuring we always provide a pyexpat that supports the intern keyword
on ParserCreate().

I'll close the bug as "fixed in CVS".
