This checkin is the branch I had in mind when sketching out a
non-CPython-only zope.component story today.  Notes on the changes:

- - The branch kills off both the use of 'zope.deferredimport' and the
  'bbb' subpackage, leaving something which could be used in Jython, or
  IronPython, or the GAE.

- - Ripping out 'zope.deferredimport' required shifting to "from imports"
  to avoid cycles.  I moved one other cycle down into a non-module-scope
  import, as well, using a 'global base' to avoid extra imports.

- - All its tests pass in a buildout.

- - Due to the 'test' extra, buildout pulls in a bunch of extra
  dependencies, which I would like to zap (ZODB?  really?  just to
  verify that the persistent registry survives 'dumps' and 'loads'?)

- - The branch can be installed into a virtualenv via 'setup.py develop',
  with only 'zope.interface' and 'zope.event' added.

- - 'setup.py test' needs 'zope.testing', but then doesn't do anything
  (missing metadata).  If I added the metadata, the tests would then
  pull in those extra packages:  maybe I'll work on trimming them down,
  too.

- - It probably breaks something in the 'compattests' realm;  I haven't
  tried that, yet.
