Cool. It's been working on AMD64 already, but I'm happy to see other 64-bit
platforms are not too much of a hassle either.

Definitely, send them in private E-Mail. Most likely, we'd have to fix them in
Pyrex, though.

:) those are ok, they are not supposed to be run on their own anyway.

Please run "python test.py etree xinclude" or "test.py elementtree" from the
main directory instead (or just run "python test.py" to test everything).

Hmmm, that one looks bad, though. Would you have any more hints on what
happens here?
