PEP on path module for standard library

This is a bug in distutils. Thomas Hellers py2exe encounters the same
bug. As much as I remember our conversation, he submitted a patch to
distutils.

In the meanwhile I renamed path.py to jpath.py, usings Jason's first
letter in a motion of honour while circumventing this bug.
