Semi-OT: that's been a superb resource, but apparently it's no longer 
maintained - internet scuttlebutt suggests the project which let it 
exist has lost funding.  The link above is a mirror, marked "Archived", 
and I can't see there's been any addition since July 1. (sadly... I 
happen to need an lxml build for experimenting with 3.12 alphas, and 
that's an absolute bear to build for WIndows - I've never cracked it)
