Except for Windows users ... I have actually temporarily changed the
address in the registry to persuade pyxml to install in the distribution
I want (e.g., Python2.3, Zope 2.7, Plone, etc.). Just export the
original settings to a file, and you can restore them afterwards.
I wish that the Python installer would provide for multiple
installations of the same version on Windows, but it doesn't.
