Ah, great that you found this. I was already thinking along 
these lines but I wanted to do a test before I posted here.

The disadvantage of this is that a Python built on 10.1 will no 
longer run on 10.0. So I think we should make this into a 
configure flag (--with-flat-namespace, default off). Or is this 
overkill? (a binary created on 10.0 will run on 10.0, of course, 
because it is automatically flat namespace).

Oh yes, a bug report is a good idea, but a patch would be an 
even better idea:-)
