The first two made simpler the way that version & kickstart are found

The third one extends the search for version specific kickstarts into

Thanks for the interest though I am not going to apply these.
Some details:
(A) With some exemptions, I am going to make a general policy to decline
patches that are based solely on re factorings or code simplifications
rather than adding features or removing bugs. These changes, especially
to a sensitive module such as import, require unneeded re-testing and we
should be concentrating on the core functionality and use cases rather
than the code itself. I think presently we have enough of an
infrastructure to make things work sufficiently well and support the new
auxillliary distros. Adding /additional/ distros (like SuSE) would be
fair game and welcome at this time, if it did not touch the core of the
code or reorganize it. There are too many corner cases to test and
import has been a sore point in the early days of Cobbler -- it's taken
us a long time to get what we have now.
(B) Any changes to the importer are going to be limited to bugfixes for
1.4 at this point as we need to be getting a release out soon. I need to
spend time testing new features and cannot continually re-test the importer.
