Hookspath should be prepended to hooks.__path__, not appended

[anonymous]

In mf.py, the private hookpath gets appended to the module search path like so: (about line 438 in mf.py)

        if hookspath:
            hooks.__path__.extend(hookspath)

I propose it should be changed to:

        if hookspath:
            hooks.__path__ = hookspath + hooks.__path__

This gives priority to the user hooks rather than the built-in ones.

I wasted a good hour figuring out why my hook module wasn't called...

Should this change go also to next bugfix release of 1.5?

IMHO it's worth going into 1.5.2, too.
