The total size of the unused files is 344k. That's about half of
expat. Most of this space in in expat-1.1/bin, which is mostly .dlls
This is just a quick estimate, and we might need a few of them.

Currently, the tarball that I have posted is just a drop-in replacement
for expat. It currently compiles fine on my machine, and if it works on
others, I would nominate it for being committed. The only abi-side
changes would be to take advantage of the new features.
