xmldiff is located in site-packages

this is PythonModule class but compiled separately from IronPython

[assembly: PythonModule("maplookup", typeof(maplookup.maplookup))]

namespace maplookup {
    public static class maplookup {
        public const string __doc__ = "test string";
    ...
}

I owe the explanation here. xmldiff is a python package with one module
implemented as C extension
What I am trying to do, is to port this C extension as .NET class.
This would be analog to porting build-in C modules into .NET but outside of
the IronPython.
