I had a problem installing 4Suite on Windows the other day. I believe
the installer should put some code (__init__.py, maybe?) in _xmlplus so
that the main XML packages can pick up the extensions (this is certainly
what happens in my Debian install of an earlier version of 4Suite), but
for some reason the installer only created the extra sub-directories off
_xmlplus for xpath and xslt, so Python was unable to import xml.xslt.

What's in your _xmlplus directory, Leonardo?
