Yes, JimF noticed that within the last week too, and it threw him off track
(me too).  Meant to mention it.  Of course it's not a problem on Windows --
no make there to make make problems <wink>.

Irrelevantly, the damaged files test_future.py is trying to import should not
have been named with a "test_" prefix (maybe a "bad_" prefix instead), and
then there would have been no need to add them to the NOTTEST list in
regrtest.py either.

Could the Unix makefile be taught not to compile the supposed-to-fail .py
files?  Would that be easier if all the supposed-to-fail files were renamed
to something other than test_*.py?
