`configure` should support --with-system-expat option (similarly to --
internal copy of expat. It will be useful for some distributions (e.g.
Gentoo), which prefer to use system libraries instead internal copies.

Some fragment of my initial comment disappeared :( .
This option will be similar to '--with-system-ffi' option.
It will cause using system expat instead of internal copy of expat.

The comment "Usage of a system shared libexpat.so/expat.dll is not
advised." just above the change should probably be revised.
