	I should fix that; the intention is that you can run the test
suite without having to actually install the package, but that relies
on having a symlink from xml to '.' in the main directory.  Perhaps it
should behave in a way being suggested in the Distutils-sig, and
construct a fake installation tree inside the package; actual
installation would then be a matter of just copying the tree.

It's the same old story... Whatever it turns into on the way, whatever it is
you originally undertake to spin or knit or weave, keep it going long enough
and, in the end, my lilies, it's always a winding sheet.
