Description of changes:


[2.4.3-44]
- add patch adapted from upstream (patch 208) to add support for building
against system expat; add --with-system-expat to "configure" invocation; 
remove
embedded copy of expat-1.95.8 from the source tree during "prep"
- ensure pyexpat.so gets built by explicitly listing all C modules in the
payload in %files, rather than using dynfiles
Resolves: CVE-2009-3720
