I think this is highly desirable. I think it's best to create a "python"
directory under "v2" and put the Python code on a branch. This way we can
freely hack on the code, and ordinary users won't even see the directory.
Dave, what do you think?

Cool! I've looked at the code and it nicer than jam. At the very least there
are real maps!

I'll see what I can do about it. Loading of project is highly dependent on
Jamfile parser, so I think it's the first thing I should do.
