Note that a number of the changes listed below were not applicable to the Py3k branch, and hence the corresponding

files are unchanged in this checkin. This checkin is also the first time the environment checking in regrtest has
been forward ported to the Py3k branch.

This checkin causes test_xmlrpc to fail - see issue 7165 (it's a bug in the 3.x version of xmlrpc.server)
I am also getting a failure in test_telnetlib, but it isn't clear yet if that is due to these changes.

  Enhanced Issue 7058 patch, which will not be backported.  Refactors the
  code, adds checks for stdin/out/err, cwd, and sys.path, and adds a new
  section in the summary for tests that modify the environment (thanks to
  Ezio Melotti for that suggestion).
