Ah, so current CPython sources builds with 4 byte unicode by default? If this is for sure, then we're fairly safe. If not, then I wonder what to do - you'd like lxml to work with hand-compiled Pythons..
Nope. The distros all pass the '--enable-unicode=ucs4' to configure. The default value for that option is 'yes', which maps to 'ucs2' unless you also have a usc4-enabled TCL.

Perhaps we could use the following test inside 'setup.py', and modify the name of the binary egg to include the 'ucs2' vs. 'ucs4' flag?::
ucs_flag = sys.maxunicode > 65536 and 'ucs4' or 'ucs2'
