Okay, I've checked in a fix.  It turns out it wasn't an import circularity, 
but rather it's the fact that you can't nest "assignment advisors" -- my 
evil trace-hook hack to simulate decorators in Python <2.4.  What was 
happening is that if the first time dispatch.strategy was imported was from 
a decorator (like 'someGF.when()'), then an important 'dispatch.as()' call 
would silently fail, mucking up the "make_index" method's setup as a 
classmethod.

Anyway, it's fixed now, but we should probably make a move to Python 2.4 in 
the near future in order to get away from this problem.
