 Hm, that's strange, I didn't think the `.la`-file-killing patch was going
 to make it into MacPorts until 2.2... must be some other problem. Does
 `/opt/local/lib/libexpat.la` actually exist? What does `stat
 /opt/local/lib/libexpat.la` return for you? How about `port installed
 expat`? If that returns something, how about `port contents expat`?
