yes i have put  MiscUtils in the path specifically; i don't remember
why at the moment

[time passes]

so I did some investigation and i found a checkin by another developer
that added that to our path back in 2003 so that importing DBPool
didn't need a prefix of 'MiscUtils'. Of course shortly after that
DBPool.py was moved elsewhere in our code tree to account for some
custom modifications, so it didn't matter one way or another, but we
use DBUtils now, so this whole problem might be moot for me if i clean
up some code. (i don't see any other need for MiscUtils directly in my
python path now).

(yes my group at work has been using Webware/WebKit that long)

right-o; i should try my patches first... i'm still digging through a
few other migration to 1.0rc issues so we'll see how that goes =)
