 Looks like your environment has a bug, because textproc/p5-XML-Parser relies
 on expat:
 
 cvs annotate Makefile | grep expat
 1.3          (wiz      17-Feb-01): COMMENT=    Perl extension interface to
 James Clark's XML parser, expat
 1.19         (jlam     31-Mar-04): MAKE_PARAMS+=

 1.19         (jlam     31-Mar-04): MAKE_PARAMS+=

 1.18         (jlam     05-Jan-04): .include
