I tried to reuse it already, but I ended up removing lots of stuff and
creating a simpler loop to scan sys.path elements,
and work with the different sorts (zip dir, dir, etc)

That's basically what I have done here:
http://bitbucket.org/tarek/extensions/src/tip/extensions/reader.py)

That happened because I got a bit lost in the way finders were working
in setuptools, which seemed
a bit over-engineered at that time to me (but I might end up changing
my mind at sime point when I understand it better).

Although, I think I understand why WorkingSet is required now.
