No, that taste in your mouth is crow.

The only nonsense here is that you apparently think 1.1.2 is later
than 1.2. 1.2 is the earliest version of lxml with XInclude support,
and I need that. The package you just installed doesn't have
it. Ubuntu 7.04 with python 2.5.1 and lxml 1.1.2 was one of the
distros I checked (and by far the best Linux system of the bunch), and
it isn't up to the job at hand.
