I'm always running the test suite after pulling from crew, on FreeBSD,
Solaris and Linux.  The combination of these OSes, different Python
versions and a few local differences, is a fairly good measure of the
portability of the tests we have now.

It would be nice if we could run something like:

	python check-tests.py

and have it report common errors though.  How would you go about copying
the run-tests.py logic for iterating through the tests, and map each
test through a series of 'validating' mini-checks?
