But it's not desirable for it to be limited one user...

The situation is that the meta_path hook is provided in a package that is depended on
by other packages that contain modules that are importable by the hook.

It doesn't seem particularly appropriate to me for a given *package* to be fiddling with the
system administrator's sitecustomize or the user's sitecustomize. No?

Now, that's not to say that I'm unwilling to be inappropriate. >8)
