Skip, you're going about this all wrong.  We already have the technology
to start Python up blazingly fast.  All you have to do <wink> is port
XEmacs's unexec code.  Then you load up Python with all the modules you
think you're going to need, unexec it, then the next time it starts up
like lightening.  Disk space is cheap!
