-> I'm upgrading an old app from Quixote 1.x to Quixote 2.3, and I ran into
-> an interesting problem: even though 'quixote.html.html_quote' no longer
-> exists in Quixote 2.3, when using the 'cimport' PTL module you can
-> import it.

Judicious placement of printfs throughout the code identified the
problem.  Here's the fix:

(the diff is attached as a file, too.)

                m = call_find_load(fullname, subname, path);

                        if (PyObject_SetAttrString(mod, subname, m) < 0) {
                                Py_DECREF(m);

This fix makes sense to me & it works in my app as well as all three
Quixote demos.
