[mod_python] Broken reload algorithm?

It looks like you're right about this - I looked at the Python code
(Python/import.c) and it seems like it searches the path again for reload.
When I wrote this I was under the impression that Python would just reload
the original file from which the module came.

I'll make a note of this.

My mod_python todo list is just getting so huge...
