This goes back to

http://codereview.appspot.com/842043/diff/1/3#newcode787

where Antoine points out that the code needs to look for altsep.

He then suggests "keep the right-most of both". I don't think he
literally meant that the right-most separator should then also be
used to separate __pycache__, but only that the right-most of
either SEP or ALTSEP is what separates the module name.

In any case, Barry apparently took this comment to mean that the
rightmost separator should be preserved.

So I don't think this is an important feature.

Martin
