added the 'usual' setup.py to allow building a libxml2-python
module based on the same code. The initialization is however
different the 2 .so files fo libxml2 and libxslt are identical and
they entry point initialize both libraries. this is done to avoid
some possible nasty problem since the Python don't merge the maps
of all shared modules.

+ Module libxml2-python
+ =====================
+
+This is the libxml2 python module, providing access to the
+libxml2 and libxslt (if available) libraries. For general
+informationss on those XML and XSLT libraries check their
+web pages at :
+ http://xmlsoft.org/
+ and
+ http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
+
+The latest version of the sources for this module and the
+associated libraries can be found at:
+ ftp://xmlsoft.org/
+
+Binaries packages of the libxml2 and libxslt libraries can
+be found either on the FTP site for Linux, from external
+sources linked from the web pages, or as part of your set of
+packages provided with your operating system.
+
+NOTE:
+this module distribution is not the primary distribution
+of the libxml2 and libxslt Python binding code, but as
+the Python way of packaging those for non-Linux systems.
+The main sources are the libxml2 and libxslt tar.gz found on
+the site. One side effect is that the official RPM packages for
+those modules are not generated from the libxml2-python
+distributions but as part of the normal RPM packaging of
+those two libraries.
+The RPM packages can be found at:
+ http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libxml2-python
+ http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libxslt-python
