The JPython distribution used to be released without the libs, and the
libs could be downloaded separately on the JPython site- that could be
what the comment referred to.  Also, as Jython's Lib directory was
growing, it was suggested that getting the libs from CPython
to "try and see what worked" was a good idea.  CPython's libs are in my
Jython path, so maybe the reference was to the CPython modules
(www.python.org).  In other words, there isn't really extra libraries
to be downloaded from the Jython site at this time.  For libraries
not included with Jython, look to the CPython module library (if the
module itself is not written in C that is).
