That's indeed preferable, but according to my analysis not possible, as
there are situations of faulty startup behavior in which out
sitecustomize.py is not run at all.

What we can envisage is a combination of
 1. patching Python
 2. using realpath rather than normpath in our sitecustomize.py

Cheers,
  Konrad.
