I was always hoping we could get back to depending on a normal Pyrex release
rather sooner than later, but I guess you're right. Since Greg doesn't follow
a very open project management style, it's hard to predict when lxml will be
able to build with an unpatched Pyrex release.

I'll go with the above for now...
