If you want to avoid problems like this, consider compiling in libxml2 and
libxslt statically into lxml.etree and the other two Pyrex libraries. That
adds a couple of MBs to each of the three Pyrex modules, but that's usually a
low price for the comfort of always getting the versions you expect. We have a
sort-of-recipe for doing that on Windows, but it should not be too hard to
adapt that to MacOS-X.
