Summary: -m does not find dotted modules

Initial Comment:
-m does not appear to find modules that are referenced
to with dots on windows:

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python -m found
python: module found not found

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>echo print 'found!' >
found.py

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python -m found
found!

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>mkdir directory

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>move found.py directory

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>del found.pyc
Could Not Find D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\found.pyc

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python -m found
python: module found not found

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python -m directory.found
python: module directory.found not found

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python  directory\found.py
found!

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>

This should use the standard python finding mechanism
to cope with dotted packages. Also with package\__init__.py
