Summary: setup.py tries to build pyexpat in the absence of xmlparse.h

Details: Using the latest version of Andrew's setup.py, I get the following
build failure:

building 'pyexpat' extension
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -fpic -I.
-I/home/beluga/skip/src/python/dist/src/./Include -IInclude/ -c
/home/beluga/skip/src/python/dist/src/Modules/pyexpat.c -o
build/temp.linux-i686-2.1/pyexpat.o
/home/beluga/skip/src/python/dist/src/Modules/pyexpat.c:5: xmlparse.h: No
such file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Looks like it fails to properly test the prerequisites for
building the pyexpat module.
