I added a feature to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.recipe.staticlxml last
week that skips the expensive compilation step if there's already an lxml egg.

I could do that by using a couple of assumptions that were build into the
recipe.  So if you need the shared build directory just for lxml, this could
save you some work.

The recipe uses zc.recipe.cmmi, though, if I remember correctly.  So your
approach could fix it at the source instead of my one-recipe-only solution :-)
