So this __init__.py can have code in it? And base.tar can have other 
modules and subpackages in it?
What happens if the base and an addon both define a package called 
simplistix.somepackage?

What does that * mean? I thought .pth files just had python in them?

How would this work if base, addon1 and addon2 were eggs managed by 
buildout or setuptools?
