Yes, it should be possible to abstract the common logic in some way,
using some kind of interface for all OS inspection and 'sys.modules'
manipulations.

Yes, there is
http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist/pypy/module/__builtin__/test/test_import.py

which will also need a bit of rewriting, but that should be
straightforward.
