python311 vs expat



This change broke both macOS and SunOS:

bac7175966909 (adam      2026-03-04 06:51:45 +0000  44) CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-system-expat # requires expat_config.h

It means that python311 has both:

  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-system-expat
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-system-expat # requires expat_config.h

I don't understand how this can work.  Does this even work on NetBSD?

I think it's clearly a regression on any other system, so if this is a NetBSD-specific hack then it needs to go in an .if OPSYS section, and I'd recommend a very good comment explaining why we have both --with and --without because that makes no sense to me.
