No, so far we have been focusing on various other aspects, and
currently getting nice applevel tracebacks.  I guess one
always needs to do some manual adjustments so removing "import
unittest.py" is not a big issue.  For example, with PyPy we
use 'from pypy.tool import testit' which needs to go and it is
somewhat difficult to delete such lines automatically :-) 

Getting nice applevel tracebacks requires refactoring towards a 
more abstract and helpful introspection model (where PyPy can drop
it its own more involved one) which is what we have been working 
on a bit.  (Armin is currently out with a friend, though, so he 
hasn't seen the latest changes :-) 

cheers,
