That's the first thing I searched but obviously I haven't found the
successfull search term yet. 

>> change "EXTENSIONCLASS_NOINSTDICT_FLAG" to
>> "EXTENSIONCLASS_INSTDICT_FLAG"
[in Record.c]

Well, after changing this flag I had access to __dict__. But that's
about all I gained. __setattr__ and __getattr__ just remained glued to
the definitions in Record.c and no matter what I tried on the
Python-level, I couldn't get them redefined.

It is "Record_getattr" if I parse the code correctly. And it does call
"Py_FindAttr". But this doesn't seem to do me any good since my getattr
won't get called no matter what I try.

I'm really reluctant to start messing with Record.c in earnest since I
really can't claim to understand all side-effects this might produce.
But perhaps this is something more suitable for zope-dev anyway. There
might actually be a good reason for not adding attributes to Records
programatically.
