I added the import facility to .pth files, so I should know how to use
it :-) Turns out I didn't ... Due to what I would consider a bug in
that facility, adding a line

import sys;sys.path.insert(0,"/tmp")

also has the desired affect, without requiring a helper module
(originally, the plan was that import lines only contain a single
import statement; that constraint is not enforced).

Martin
