of effort to do so.

to load extension modules and now provides the dl module. As a result,
sys.setdlopenflags() now works correctly on these systems. (SF patch
#1454844)

imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".

This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).

Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)

    building under Cygwin.  Makes some fixes to the dlmodule in order to
    compile with Cygwin.

'verify' iff it's used by a test module...

and replaces them with a new API verify(). As a result the regression
suite will also perform its tests in optimization mode.

to signify a test that should be marked as 'skipped' rather than 'failed'.
Also 'document' it, in README.

2. When no test case worked, raise ImportError instead of failing.

random things.

'verbose' flag ala GvR updated test harness architecture.

Old way:

	verbose = 0
	if __name__ == '__main__':
		verbose = 1

New way:

	from test_support import verbose

Some other small readablility and functionality updates.

I've attempted to make a test that silently exits if either
module dl is not present, we're not on a Sun OS, or a standard
shared library ('/usr/lib/libresolv.so') is not found...  Otherwise,
It does a simple test of dlmodule on that library.  I *think*
this would be ok to add to testall.py but I'll wait till I hear
some feedback on the liberalness of this approach.
