Optionally build against an installed XPA #203

On Debian, we have to patch imexam in order to get it built against the XPA version (library and executables) provided by the system. This is necessary to get it conform to our policy.

Maintaining this patch is however not trivial. It would be better if imexam could provide a flag to setup.py or setup.cfg that uses the system XPA libs for build instead of the convenience copies.
