Even with PEP 3147, a helper is still necessary, at the very least to
generate dependencies.

Furthermore - unless I’m missing something - this PEP doesn’t say
anything about supported Python versions by a given module. So even
without a symlink farm, there is at least some magic needed to indicate
which versions are supported, maybe in the .py files themselves.
