Commit aec20d66d9d13e0acd6a7199b63e1383e1e9900a
(automake: properly handle non-default expat installation),
assumed that up-to date distributions use a recent version
of expat that handles security vunerabilities CVE-2012-1147
and CVE-2012-1148. Seems like this is not always the case
and they prefer to backport only the fix, rather than use
the updated library.

This commit adds a default case -lexpat whenever expat is
not found, while properly handling expat.pc if present.
