Summary: Modulefinder doesn't handle PyXML

Initial Comment:
The attached patch adds a mechanism to handle cases 
like PyXML, where a module injects itself into 
sys.modules under a different name. With a special 
version of py2exe I was able to freeze some of the 
PyXML test scripts, although I didn't succeed with 
freeze - the extension modules did not load.

I call
  ReplaceModule("_xmlplus", "xml")
and then run ModuleFinder on my script.

Only when the module named "_xmlplus" is loaded by 
load_package, the replaceModule hook is triggered. With the 
above call, it is then inserted into ModuleFinder's modules 
instance var under the name "xml", and not "_xmlplus". This 
mirrors what is done by _xmlplus/__init__.py file.

Now that I think over it, probably ReplaceModule should be 
renamed to ReplacePackage ...

How is this supposed to be used? Do you add to
replaceModuleMap only if the replacement module is present?
