Well, for one thing, expat is distributed with Abi.  For another
thing, expat is *really* small and *really* fast.  

However, both of them support SAX.  So theorietically, it should be
possible to use *exactly* the same interface for both of them, and
remove all the horrible #ifdefs in the code.  

Aaron, do you know if one of the interfaces is currently using sax?
