change, python36-lxml is installed instead.

Since you don't seem to have gotten any feedback on this patch series, I just
want to let you know that I've been running setup.exe with these patches for a
couple months, and I haven't seen any regressions. (But I haven't done any
systematic testing or review.)
Thanks very much for giving these a try.
I was recently reminded of these patches and thinking of doing a setup
release to include them. Are there any other outstanding patches you
are aware of?
