Users shouldn't bother looking into packages... only at the
documented interface ;-)

The hack is required to allow sibling submodules to import
the packages main module (I could have also written import
__init__ everywhere but that wouldn't have made things
clearer), BTW. It turned out to be very convenient during
development of all those mx packages.
