Argh. That was a late (untested) addition to the requirements, it looks like
the libxml2 / libxslt Python bindings don't follow normal Python
conventions. I'll pull that out of setup.py. If I'm ambitious, maybe I'll
try to convince Daniel Veillard to produce normal Python source packages for
his bindings.

If you're on Debian or Ubuntu, "apt-get install python-libxslt1" should do
the trick. On Gentoo, emerging libxml2 with the python USE flag set should
do the trick.

Sorry for the pain - and thanks for the feedback.
