It was made by Fernando to fix misbehaving help() in python 2.3
(IIRC), so I don't think I should just revert the patch. If this is
really required for py 2.3 (Fernando's input appreciated, if he still
remembers the rationale for setting the module of FakeModule.py as the
__file__ for the %run-ed file), I guess we could put a test for python
version and provide the correct __file__ for py 2.4 (and leave this
feature pseudo-broken for py 2.3, i.e. the way it is now).
