    XML package if PyXML version is greater than 0.6.1.
  
! - xml.dom: DOM level 1 support for basic XML.  Includes xml.dom.minidom
!   (conventional DOM), and xml.dom.pulldom, which allows building the DOM
!   tree only for nodes which are sufficiently interesting to a specific
!   application.  Does not provide the HTML-specific extensions.  Still
!   undocumented.
! 
! - xml.sax: SAX 2 support for Python, including all the handler
!   interfaces needed to process XML 1.0 compliant XML.  Some
!   documentation is already available.
  
! - pyexpat: Renamed to xml.parsers.expat since this is part of the new,
!   packagized XML support.
