On the other hand, it makes it a little more fiddly to grab the code
and run it *without* installation, I suspect, andone of my goals is
that Jokosher should be relocatable. I suppose the "jokosher"
executable, which would actually be a script, can just "import
jokosher" which would pick it up from . if it's there and
site-packages (which is already on sys.path) if it isn't.
