First, let me say I didn't read your delta, just your commit message. Second, I think that part of the choice of name is to discourage its use by third-party applications, rather than to allow it to coexist with libexpat from the ports tree. But the delta isn't as bad as I imagined. Sorry for the exagerated (and possibly false, you decide) alarm. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
