mmm, thats nasty too.

Sounds like you should start a fresh thread on maintainers. If you do,
please summarize the points I made, as well as your new points.

Also, I'm thinking to propose   webpy|CSWwebpy-alias =>  py_webpy|CSWpywebpy
as a naming strategy.
Slightly "breaks" our     soft|CSWsoft 1-to-1 correlation, but seems
nicest compromise.
