g_ImplementationHelper can be googled for, or opengroked. Its the "magic
smoke" which pyuno queries to find out what services a python component
provides, here's the bit from the mailmerge.py, which I think is the
only working python component we have in-tree. 

# pythonloader looks for a static g_ImplementationHelper variable
g_ImplementationHelper = unohelper.ImplementationHelper()
g_ImplementationHelper.addImplementation( \
        PyMailServiceProvider,
"org.openoffice.pyuno.MailServiceProvider",
                ("com.sun.star.mail.MailServiceProvider",),)
g_ImplementationHelper.addImplementation( \
        PyMailMessage, "org.openoffice.pyuno.MailMessage",
                ("com.sun.star.mail.MailMessage",),)

I've no idea what's the right way that passive registration supersedes
this "classic" pyuno "active" registration.
