hmm -- I suppose we should check that. I agree that it's probably not a 
good idea to have the contents of the package also in sys.path, but 
that's how PIL is installed now. It seems that users could have it 
imported in two different ways in their own code, regardless of how 
py2app imports it.

I guess the question is whether modulegraph is smart enough to realize 
that they are the same thing!
