[Python-Dev] Inconsistent behaviour in import/zipimport hooks

Yeah, that's not bad, but I hate setting PYTHONPATH.  I was thinking
more along the line of

  python -z ZIPFILE

where python would look at the ZIPFILE to see if there's a top-level
module called "__init__", and if so, load it.  That would allow
existing PYTHONPATH settings to still be used if the user cares.
