[Distutils] PEP 420 on python2

[Asmodehn Shade]

Hi,

I had a look at libimport2, but I found out it was a bit buggy and I
couldnt extend it as I had hoped.

The custom importer I m working on basically extends PathFinder, FileFinder
and SourceFileLoader, and I wanted to have the same implementation for py2
and py3, so I ended up reimplementing the parts of importlib I needed in
order to be able to extend from them, from py2 or py3, without any version
specific code.

Now I m trying to find the best way to test it to make sure py2 +
filefinder2 behaves like py3 as much as possible, so any insight would be
helpful :-)

Thanks !
