Import Hooks

I have written two modules are the engine for Installerrelease 5 (an almost total rewrite of the Installer package).

One of these modules (code, description) is a replacement for Greg Stein's pioneering imputil.py. It features better emulation of Python's native import mechanism, better performance and is more easily extendable.

The other module (code, description) is a replacement for modulefinder.py from Tools/freeze. It's major advantage is that it has a hook mechanism allowing import hacks to be tracked (once they have been reverse engineered).

Since both these modules have significant advantages over their predecessors, I am releasing them separately from the Installer package.
