Well, unittest used to be from the last release of pyunit, but I just
updated the CVS to the version from the latest release candidate. This 
actually has quite a few changes over what I had -- it looks like
things are changing a bit under the watchful eye of Guido.

I agree that it would be best to keep Tests/unittest in-sync with
whatever is included in the python distribution. Then eventually we'll 
be able to just move over to it, once everyone in the world is using
python2.1 or greater.
