Sorry about that!  The Windows installer was replaced earlier today (well,
Thursday).  Somehow or other, the lack of the XML package snuck by *all* the
pre-release alpha testers, including me and Guido.  In a bit of irony, at
the time the first bug report about this was being filed at SourceForge, the
BeOpen PythonLabs group was having a meeting wherein we coincidentally
wondered how to improve the test suite so that non-experts could *tell*
which tests were expected to get skipped on their platform.  Looks like we
need a better system for that more than you folks do <wink>.
