On the other hand, I think it would be nice to check it into the sandbox if it's not already there. If licensing is an issue, just include a README file which says, "Get thus-and-such from a recent Emacs (or XEmacs?) distribution."

How should the changes to core python be included? Making 'import site' happen when loading a dumped binary required another change. I could easily produce a diff for them.
