Hello,

The final version (unless someone objects) of the Zip
importing design is available at

    http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0273.html

and I am finishing up the code.  There are several
changes, especially the use of os.listdir() to cache
directory contents to speed up imports.

Most of the changes are in import.c.  If anyone has
an import.c wish list, please post here.  Maybe I can
add your pet feature while I am at it.
