That's a reasonable objection.  The only problem with 'identical' is that
there are issues of one changing in one cvs module, and not in the other
(nevermind the fact that CVS $Id$ tags would be different).

I wouldn't be duplicating, since the setup.py and such would be
significantly simpler than the current one, and more able to accurately
describe the pythius.aop module (e.g., differences such as LGPL, etc).

I'm not following what you mean here.
