That was my suggestion. I'm not so convinced it's a good idea now,
though, since it will probably confuse people.

I didn't suggest that. James says that's what PyORBit does. Again, I
think that's unnecessarily confusing.

I think the best solution is probably to just miss out the top-level
CORBA modules altogether, and tell people they need to set PYTHONPATH
to a suitable location if they want import CORBA to still work.
