	I think dropping them into the standard Python library
directory is evil; re-install it, and your XML changes have gone.
Unfortunately, unless Guido's essay on 1.5 packages is out of date,
the directories in .pth files are added to the end of sys.path, and
can't therefore can't override

	BTW, over the weekend I fixed the installation problems,
started on a test/ directory (working similarly to Python's test
suite, so we'll write test_saxlib or test_sgmlop or whatever), and
split the HOWTO into reference and tutorial documents.  Before the
next release, I want to start on a demo/ directory, include the new
versions of saxlib and Expat, and complete the test suite.

I must tell you that it will mean some change in your writing style. All
four-letter words must be omitted and, in future, please no references to
screwing, buggery or to any perverted acts. I admit that won't leave you much
to write about, but that's the price of loyalty.
