I think this makes sense. While Linux is definitely not a straight forward
platform for binaries, it's a rather uniform platform for source installations
(as long as we don't require the most recent dependency versions installed).
And we shouldn't forget that Debian and related distributions come with
ready-to-install versions of lxml well integrated into their package
management system.

Any volunteers for a rewrite of build.txt?
