Summary: No documentation for zipimport module

Initial Comment:
It doesn't appear that the zipimport module is 
documented in Python 2.3.2, apart from a note in 
the "what's new in Python 2.3" section.  It should really 
be in the list of all standard modules.

Presumably the help(zipimport) contents could form the 
basis of this documentation.  I'd be willing to put a 
patch together for this if someone gives me clear 
guidelines about what should be there.

Well, it's been two months (setting up latex2html on cygwin 
isn't easy! <wink>), but here's something.

Attached is a draft module doc for zipimport, and a diff to add 
it to the library (I wasn't really sure where it belonged, so this 
diff might be no good it's only one line, anyway).

The documentation is a combination of the docstrings, stuff 
from the PEP, and stuff from the "what's new in 2.3" page.  
Hope it's ok.

The doc strings should indeed be a good start. See also http://
python.org/peps/pep-0273.html and http://python.org/peps/pep-
0302.html for way more details than neccesary for the docs. Feel 
free to concact me off line if you have more questions; your offer 
is most welcome!
