Note that there is no test suite for this module, and I don't plan to
write one just now.

(i.e. this restores the old functionality).

Note that if a test couldn't be imported, it is just ignored (and no
warning is printed).

(testall.out): obsolete.  see individual test output files in the
Output directory.

(testall.py): now contains only the list of all tests

(autotest.py): The new testing harness.  Supports -g option to
generate output files instead of verifying; -w option to warn about
non-tested optional modules; additional command line arguments to
generate or test individual tests (useful for generating output file
of new tests).

The raise logic has one additional feature: if you raise <class>,
<value> where <value> is not an instance, it will construct an
instance using <value> as argument.  If <value> is None, <class> is
instantiated without arguments.  If <value> is a tuple, it is used as
the argument list.

This feature is intended to make it easier to upgrade code from using
string exceptions to using class exceptions; without this feature,
you'd have to change every raise statement from ``raise X'' to ``raise
X()'' and from ``raise X, y'' to ``raise X(y)''.  The latter is still
the recommended form (because it has no ambiguities about the number
of arguments), but this change makes the transition less painful.

I'm really not sure what the proper inputs are.  I do flex the
function call though by passing in arguments of the proper type.  I
don't try to exec the code object that gets returned!

Tested with AMK's help.

Also got rid of the dummy variable, which was last needed in IRIX 4.x.

updated testall.out

really test this module, or even compile it without a lot of work.

I'll make a note of it that this has not been tested!

hang on the right side, if they are on a separate line, indent them
under the keyword.

simple tests.

(testall.py, testall.out): Added MD5 testsuite

from emacs as per recomendation from GvR

possible.
