[Distutils] Non-typical scenario

I don't think that's a distutils problem, it's just the way 
packages are set up. Would 'from MyProject import *' also be
okay? Then you could write a __init__.py which imports 
everything from the 'e' module: 'from e import *', and place
it in the package directory.
