Well, be careful when addressing this part of "potential users".
What I understood from this thread is that expat is being imported
to server OUR tools. The tools that lie under src/ CVS repo. Which is
an interesting move. Whatever might be our concerns/desires with XML.
Whichever other tool in the system should depend on the
ports version, not on OUR expat.
But that's what I understood. Actually, it's a good time
to clear this point out. :)
