IMHO, we should remove the plat-* directories, they are completely unmaintained, undocumented, and serve no useful purpose. Oh I didn't know that - so definitely adding to that is right out :)

Really for cases like Jython's zlib.py (no useful code for CPython) I don't have any trouble keeping them entirely in Jython. It just would have been fun to delete our Lib/ :)

It would be nice in this particular case if there was a zlib.py that imported _zlib -- then it would be easy to shim in Jython's version, whether it is written in a .py file or in Java.
