# Interface to the Expat XML parser
+#
+# Expat is written by James Clark and must be downloaded separately
+# (see below). The pyexpat module was written by Paul Prescod after a
+# prototype by Jack Jansen.
+#
+# The Expat dist includes Windows .lib and .dll files. Home page is at
+# http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html, the current production release is
+# always ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip.
+#
+# (Note: the expat build process doesn't yet build a libexpat.a; you can
+# do this manually while we try convince the author to add it.)
