This sounds like a good initiative! But I built my own expat (the one
coming with ParsedXML) so I'm confused why it would be importing your version 
at all. Doesn't look like this is possible, as it's importing like this:

from Products.ParsedXML.Expat import pyexpat

which gets ParsedXML's expat. But it looks like somehow it got confused by
something..

I will try that to nail down the problem tomorrow. Still want to check
whether it crashes or not now.
