The tigris.org machine was down for nearly a full day. Even then, most of
the internet had its old IP, so things weren't working while the machine was
alive (at its new IP).

Last night, I unstuck svn.collab.net's commit emails thru some admin
trickery. It looks like we're up and running smoothly again.

The expat-lite is simply a subset of Expat, so yes: I'd expect things to
work just fine. The Expat API is stable, so even with a newer Expat, we'd be
fine.

The answer is to pick up a dependency upon APRUTIL. That library figures out
where Expat is, and pulls that into the list of dependent libraries. If
there is no system-installed Expat, then it comes bundled with Expat.

When we add APRUTIL, we drop expat-lite.

[ we also plan to use APRUTIL for some of its DBM features, possibly its
  URI features, and maybe its base64 and SHA1 stuff, too ]
