path expression instead of using the one that was actually passed
in for the current run.

makes the API always return Unicode strings for names and text
instead of byte strings for plain ASCII content.

* New incremental XML file writing API ``etree.xmlfile()``.

* E factory in lxml.objectify is callable to simplify the creation of
tags with non-identifier names without having to resort to getattr().

Bugs fixed

* When starting from a non-namespaced element in lxml.objectify, searching
for a child without explicitly specifying a namespace incorrectly found
namespaced elements with the requested local name, instead of restricting
the search to non-namespaced children.

* GH33: lxml.html.fromstring() failed to accept bytes input in Py3.

* LP1080792: Static build of libxml2 2.9.0 failed due to missing file.
