Standardize on test.test_support.run_unittest() (as opposed to a mix of run_unittest() and run_suite()). Also, add functionality to run_unittest() that admits usage of unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule().

You might want to review this change as it's my first time.  Be gentle. :-)

Remove obsolete comment. Importing of .dll files has been discontinued, only .pyd files supported on windows now.

Make pythoncore compile cleanly with VisualStudio 2005.  Used an explicit typecast to get a 64 bit integer, and undefined the Yield macro that conflicts with winbase.h

Detect a conflict in the only file that should have outstanding changes
when this script is run.  This doesn't matter on the trunk, but does
when run on a branch.  Trunk always has the date set to today in
boilerplate.tex.  Each time a release is cut with a different date,
a conflict occurs.  (We could copy a known good version, but then
we would lose changes to this file.)

I've kept a couple of still-valid extra tests in test_descr, but didn't
bother to sort through the new comments and refactorings added in r53997
to see if some of them could be kept.  If so, they could go in a
follow-up check-in.

Will backport to 2.5 once it is unfrozen for 2.5.1.

Fix a bug when using the __lltrace__ opcode tracer, and a problem sith signed chars in frameobject.c which can occur with opcodes > 127

Add code to read from master_fd in the parent, breaking when we get an OSError
(EIO can occur on Linux) or there's no more data to read.  Without this,
test_pty.py can hang on the waitpid() because the child is blocking on the
stdout write.  This will definitely happen on Mac OS X and could potentially
happen on other platforms.  See the comment for details.

Found by Victor Stinner. Will backport when 2.5 branch is unfrozen.
