 The configmanager has a nifty feature for loading configuration check
 plugins; However, it does so by adding the plugin path to the python path,
 and then using __import__.

 Even though it puts the path at the start, I ran into a problem on one of
 my systems where it failed to load one due to a naming conflict (the up
 and coming datasrc.py), I think because a module with the same name was
 already loaded. This can be avoided by careful naming, but I think there
 is a better solution; use the imp module and its load_source() method (we
 need to make sure it is not reloaded, taken from cache, or overwrite any
 existing module)
