Bug Description
The binary packaging format called "wheel" is now accepted as PEP 427 (alongside PEP 376) and lxml is a prime candidate. Since wheel is already supported by distribute ("python setup.py bdist_wheel") I presume this is very easy for those platforms that the lxml team has easy access to.

Well, it's additional overhead and I don't see the advantage on Linux. It's best to target that platform with a source build, IMHO.
