So, let's tease out what the Right solution would be, and then see how
close or if we can get there for 2.1. I've no clue what behavior Mac
and Windows users would /like/ to see -- what would be most natural
for them? OTOH, I like the Un*x behavior and I think I'd want to see
platforms like Cygwin and MacOSX-on-non-HFS+ get as close to that as
possible.
Is it better to have uniform behavior across all platforms (modulo
places like some Windows network fs's where that may not be possible)?
Should Python's import semantics be identical across all platforms?
OTOH, this is where the rubber meets the road so to speak, so some
incompatibilities may be impossible to avoid.
And what about Jython?
