I won't clean up import.c, but I don't want to make it any worse, which is IMO
what the current zip import patch does. I *might* open doors for future
cleansing, but that's all. My main motivation are still:

  - the mechanics of reading zip files should _not_ be in import.c
  - ditto for a directory caching scheme
  - to try to minimally patch import.c so that zipimport can relatively
    cleanly be plugged in (if this leads to a new & approved import
    scheme, that's merely a nice side effect)
