Calling Python Functions from Non-hooks

[Micah Ransdell]

I have narrowed it down to hgwebdir_mod.py. It seems that when checking for
permissions in read_allowed that the call to ui.configlist isn't actually
loading my extension and properly wrapping the call to ui.config. Any advice
on how to get my extension to be loaded by hgwebdir_mod?
