[Python-Dev] how do I build pyexpat?

[Jeremy Hylton]

Setup.in contains the following comment:

# (Note: the expat build process doesn't yet build a libexpat.a; you can
# do this manually while we try convince the author to add it.)

I've got expat, and I've built it, but I don't have any idea how to
build libexpat.a.  It may be possible to do it manually, but it would
help a lot if the comments could say how to build it or contain a link
to instructions on how to build it.
