I think that the current name makes more clear to maintainers which
files (pyexpat.*) are maintained by us and which are maintained by James
Clark. Further, we have to be careful of name clashes in terms of
expat.dll and pyexpat.dll. That isn't a problem now because the expat
DLL is not named expat.dll but I can easily imagine that one of Mozilla,
TCL, Perl or James Clark might also want the name expat.dll. 

Adding a "py" doesn't hurt anyone and most people will be using expat
through the SAX API anyhow.
