	At one point, if I recall correctly, lsstimport was doing what
pkgutil.extend_path() is now doing, so it was necessary everywhere.  I
do think it's only required for SWIG packages now.  If this is correct,
we can put a comment in the devenv_templates package to that effect.

	The other thing that the base package provides is RHL's
lsstDebug module.  Perhaps that could be moved elsewhere.
