Note that this now requires a "make realclean", "make clean" will keep the .c
files (mostly to keep people from breaking things by accident if they build
without Cython).

There is a bugfix release called Cython 0.9.6.11b. That should fix it.

BTW, I wasn't able to fix all lxml.html test cases, including the 'HTML
namespace' test which is now disabled. Please take a look at it once you've
fixed your setup. I also removed the <blink> element from the "html.clean"
tests as it seems to be problematic. Maybe there's a way to work around that?

Thanks,
Stefan
