Actually, I think pkg_resources would make an excellent candidate.  The
setuptools crew is working on a branch that would allow for setuptools and
pkg_resources to be split, which would be great for other reasons.  Splitting
them may mean that pkg_resources could eventually be added to the stdlib, but
as an intermediate step, it could also test out this idea.  It probably has a
lot less of the baggage that you outline.

Cheers,
