PEP 302 + zipimport:
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files

I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...

Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
