I slept about the Product approach one night and I think it would work
it requires monkey patching (DT_Var.py, HelpSys, and maybe the standard
module).
If there are no objections I would like to merge this stuff into the
trunk asap and distribute the changes as patch against the 2.6 tree.
Since the corresponding are stable the patch will not change very much
during the 2.6 branch livetime.
Cheers,
