Well, this is my doing, and I can't say I love it. The idea was that
user didnt need to set their PYTHONPATH.

This would be a code change, but it could be better replaced by "from
file import class". Here is the relevant line:
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/grc/python/convert_hier.py#n39

I guess the additional thing is that the generated client code also
append os.path.join(os.expanduser('~'), '.grc_gnuradio') to the
sys.path, so the imports would still work when the PYTHONPATH env var
isnt set.
