expunge the xmlcore changes:
  41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

+# During the development of Python 2.5, an attempt to move the "xml"

+# The goal of this change was to allow applications to be able to
+# obtain and rely on behavior in the standard library implementation
+# of the XML support without needing to be concerned about the
+# availability of the PyXML implementation.
+#
+# While the existing import hackery in Lib/xml/__init__.py can cause
+# PyXML's _xmlpus package to supplant the "xml" package, that only
+# works because either implementation uses the "xml" package name for
+# imports.
+#
+# The move resulted in a number of problems related to the fact that
+# the import machinery's "package context" is based on the name that's
+# being imported rather than the __name__ of the actual package
+# containment; it wasn't possible for the "xml" package to be replaced
+# by a simple module that indirected imports to the "xmlcore" package.
+#
+# The following two tests exercised bugs that were introduced in that
+# attempt.  Keeping these tests around will help detect problems with
