I believe one major past use (and a possible future use) of this hook
is to force Jython to use the regular ClassLoader in environments
where custom class loaders are not allowed (like unsigned applets).
Much of it is indeed old and messy, I attempted to pull the
packagecache code out so other projects could use it, but never
finished that effort.  I did some refactoring (and I think some other
folks did too -- maybe Charlie Groves?)  But there is certainly plenty
of oldness left.  I plan to take another crack at a packagecache
separation project, but it won't be soon...
