  Description: Development files for the GNOME XML library
   XML is a metalanguage to let you design your own markup language.
   A regular markup language defines a way to describe information in
   a certain class of documents (eg HTML). XML lets you define your
   own customized markup languages for many classes of document. It
   can do this because it's written in SGML, the international standard
   metalanguage for markup languages.
   .
   Install this package if you wish to develop your own programs using
   the GNOME XML library.

  <h2>NOTES</h2>
  
  <p>Even though the Plone install failed, it still created the website directory, a buildout.cfg, and a curious looking file named <strong>lxml_static.cfg</strong></p>
  
  <p>I couldn´t find much about lxml_static.cfg but i did encounter this <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.recipe.staticlxml#id12" rel="nofollow">link</a>. Since the install failed completely and this looks like an entirely different buldout I am unsure if it is directly related. </p>
  
  <p>Any hints?</p>
