This is why it totally, absolutely, positively, posilutely, absitively,
sucks that relative imports weren't implemented by Python 2.4
(...wishing I had more time, and more mad C skills...)

We were going to do precisely what you suggested to include dependencies
within Schevo, but then realized that said dependencies would be doing
quite a bit of absolute importing of themselves.

That's when we decided to hack around it, because we didn't want to
patch a bunch of import statements in the several large moving targets
that are Schevo's dependencies ;)
