Funny you should be the one asking;  I would have been coming to find
*you* to ask that question. ;)  I think this is tied up with how ZServer
finds the "published module" bit when dispacthing an accepted
connection.  ZServer.medusa.http_bobo uses os.environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] to
get the 'module_name'.

At any rate, if you can change the published module, then "Bob's your
uncle" (pace Jim).
