Summary: __init__.py'less package import warnings

Initial Comment:
New! Industrial strength pitchfork-repellant. Just
sprinkle onto 2.5 and watch the pitchforks melt away,
to be replaced by hearthfelt grouphugs.

This patch (which probably needs some reformatting)
adds warnings when Python would have imported a module,
if only there had been an __init__.py. The text is
currently helpful, but it can easily be changed into a
FutureWarning with a warning that it'll change in 2.6
(or 'might change in the future'.)

The patch doesn't check for errors coming out of
PyErr_Warn() -- remember, a warning can always be turned
into an exception.

I'll see if we can patch Google's Python like this.
