Ah, I see what you are getting at now.  I was confused by the "raise SkipTest 
directly" part, since the test suite currently does raise SkipTest instead of 
ImportError.  So the key change here is to make the test show as a *failure* on 
those platforms where it is currently reported as an unexpected skip.  We can 
then eliminate the whole "these skips are expected" bit from regrtest.  That 
would be a very nice cleanup.

I'm going to mark this as easy, since it is basically a mechanical 
transformation from the expected skip list in regrtest to calls to a fairly 
simple new test.support function, and then ripping the obsolete code out of 
regrtest.  Tedious, but doable in a day.
