Very many third party packages I have installed.  It's
not that it is *consumed* by anything, but that it seems to
be a very widely used convention.

A quick scan shows it is present in:

- Twisted
- SOAPpy
- wxPython
- ReportLab
- libxml2
- fpconst
- metakit
- mx stuff
- matplotlib
- docutils
- Numeric
- OpenGL
- PIL
- pysco
- pyPgSQL
- py2exe
