Let Python do it for you.  It's part of the normal module build system.

Look in setup.py in the source distribution.

         expatinc = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), srcdir, 'Modules',  
'expat')
         define_macros = [
             ('HAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H', '1'),
         ]

         exts.append(Extension('pyexpat',
                               define_macros = define_macros,
                               include_dirs = [expatinc],
                               sources = ['pyexpat.c',
                                          'expat/xmlparse.c',
                                          'expat/xmlrole.c',
                                          'expat/xmltok.c',
                                          ],
                               ))
