I reshuffled the order in which things get done a little bit, and added a section that elaborates on the hooks. Basically, a finder will need to support a findpath method, return all .pth files, and a loader will need to support a loadmodulewithpath method, to initialize path. Please comment if you think that this needs further changes; I'm not certain I understand it precisely. There seem to be some ambiguities in the spec, e.g.: "If fullname is not found, is not a package, or does not have any *.pth files, None must be returned." What does "is not a package" actually mean in that context? The module is a module but not a package. so s/is not a package/is a module rather than a package/ perhaps?
