D'ohhh!  I totally missed that.  I was focusing entirely on the tests
themselves, naturally.  I suspect the right thing to do is override
and/or monkey patch unittest so it's more amenable to Mercurial tests:
only write to stdout, don't print the time, etc.

But that brings up a good point... from grep'ing the existing tests,
it looks like there are no PyUnit-based tests in Mercurial so far.  Is
there a reason for that?  Or just historical accident, i.e. no one has
gotten around to writing any?  I'm a huge slobbering fan of unit
tests, and I'd rather use the framework in the standard library than
invent a new one for every project.
