So the joe directory is put on sys.path instead of lib because joe.py
resolves to joe/joe.py. I think that is correct semantics as you may
symlink that file into your bin directory but the original file has
dependencies in that location. Plus changing it now would break scripts
depending on the current semantics.
Closing as won't fix.
