I think this would be a bad idea.  The gameengine is *somewhat*
independant of the main Blender sources, and I've heard lots of
discussion of seperating it entirely and calling it as an external
library.  Thus, it would probably be a good idea for the gameengine
python API to remain seperate from the main
Blender one.
