Our version of expat (now 1.1) contains only 1 real modification, which
was a 1 line #ifdef to support Be, IIRC. All other changes are just in
makefile stuff. I'll try to keep tracking expat release (althought they
don't come that often).
Wv was modified more significantly, IIRC, but much of that was done with
the aid of Caolan, the wv author. I believe he has merged some of our
changes back, and some of his changes get to us. (We got a patch a couple
weeks back originated by the KWord folks, who use wv too.)
So no, these are not temporary, but they're not real problems, either.
