Ok, then we should probably bundle it as well, and not compile it and link
it in for Apache 1.3.7 and newer. What licensing issues do we face with
expat 1.1 and PHP? Expat lets you choose between MPL 1.1 and GPL. Since
Apache bundles it now, I take it that MPL 1.1 is compatible with the
Apache license, but does the PHP license's extra restriction make it
incompatible with MPL 1.1?
