the future of testing

[Allison Randal]

In the Python test suite, there's a single global location to declare a 
list of test files that are expected to be skipped on a particular 
platform. This has a much cleaner feel than our own motley collection of 
skip and todo markers in various test files.

Something to consider after the 1.0 release, as we eliminate the 
dependency on Perl 5, and move forward to Parrot-native testing tools.
