BTW, this resolves the issue I mentioned in the other thread on this
point, since the reference to expat then references pyexpat, which at
run time (in the installer output product) will be found in the root
of the distribution directory as the pyd.  You still get the right
variant (PyXML) of the pyd, since the installer will copy the pyd from
the xml.parsers directory as it determines what is in use.  And no
explicit misc= entry for the pyd file should be necessary in the
installer configuration file.
