 Things like _hashlib.so should go into lib-dynload/ and not site-
 packages/, right?  site-packages/ is generally reserved for user installed
 modules, not stdlib stuff (optional ones or not).  It's a small edge case,
 but can be confusing to some people.

 I wrote up why I noticed this and the issue it caused me here:
