I should mention that I'm about to approve Just's additions to
import.c and very close to approving his zipimport.c, so you can
expect his checkins soon. This means that sys.meta_path,
sys.path_hooks, and sys.path_importer_cache are new ways of hooking
import. We can continue the discussion after 2.3a1 is released -- API
changes are okay during alpha testing. I should note that a package's
__path__ continues to exist with semantics pretty close to what they
were; I am striving for Jython compatibility here.
