[lxml-dev] Installing lxml on Windows

[Javier de la Torre]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the answer.

This is finally what I did, but I had to google for lxml-1.1 to find  
a place where I could download previous versions of the library.  
There seems to be no link in the cheeseshop to a repository of old  
releases.

Thanks.

Javier.
