Well, I wrote the pkg-config patch, and I'm involved in a lot of
different projects helping with packaging. pkg-config is really
helpful for another project that wants to depend on expat. A lot of
Linux distros already ship an expat pkg-config file.

I haven't tried to build expat from CVS in a while, but I don't recall
there being any problems on Linux. I'll make sure that it still works,
though, and send patches for anything wrong I see.
