Wow, that's the solution I dreamed of. Works wonderful. And with
PythonWin too.

My lib ist now 
>>>c:\programme\python20\mblib
And
>>>c:\programme\python20\mblibs.pth
simply contains one line with five letters:
>>>mblib

Site.py is very helpful too. What is unclear to me: As far as I
understand site.py, a ...\mblib\more.pth  should be processed als
well. I made some quick checks, but it didn't work.
Have I got it wrong?

It probably does. But I'm afraid, this kind of changes is cumbersome
and leads into trouble somewhere else ...
