What I ment was. If you build lxml yourself get universal builds of  
libiconv, libxml2 and libxslt from macports or compile them yourself.
I do not use the lxml port myself, I just use the libxml,xslt and  
iconv libraries from there and build an egg. This works both with the  
system python version and the one form python.org.
