Maybe a compromise would be to provide an extended
version of open() that knew about zip files. This
could be a stand-alone facility to complement zip
importing, and needn't be tied to distutils or
setuptools or anything like that. Code which finds
things using module __file__ attributes would work
exactly the way it does now as long as it used the
special open().
