I've taken what you did, tidied it up and added it as a
--with-expat-source option.

$ ./configure --with-expat-source=/home/src/expat-1.95.7 --with-xml-parser=expat
...
 
Raptor build summary:
  XML parser : expat(source in /home/src/expat-1.95.7)
  WWW library: libcurl 7.11.1
 
...

Then 'make' and 'make check' work fine.

You can get this fix from CVS right now[1] or wait overnight for a
source tarball and RPMs etc to be made at [2].
