Now, Barry's approach to the email package makes good sense to me, and I'd use it, except that SVN externals can't sync individual files. I'd have to create Lib/wsgiref/tests (and make a dummy Lib/test/testwsgiref that invokes them)

Which is email had to do.

and Lib/wsgiref/doc (and make Doc/lib/lib.tex include libwsgiref.tex from there).

See mimelib.tex in Python's docs -- I had to do the same thing. The PITA is that I have to build the docs in Python's svn and then copy them into the sandbox for the standalone distro. This isn't to bad when it's just one package, but if we adopt this approach more generally, we may want to establish some guidelines, which of course I'd be happy to stick to.
