Got it.  

I apologise that this is taking longer than I hoped.  I'm still
spending more time on learning curve than getting real productive
stuff done.  I suppose some of that's to be expected, but still.

I spent most of today getting my test env up to snuff, getting more
unit test infra written, and then trying to work out how to debug the
unit tests.  My python-debugging techniques are rusty, so I have to
feel my way through.

I'll work with the local RH contingent tomorrow.  If I can get my new
unit tests to behave, I *hope* to be able to run the rest of the suite
through in relatively short time.  <cross fingers>  If you (Dan and
ttx) start feeling like we're just too tight, please say so, and we'll
work out plan B.  Until then, I'm going to keep banging on this to
pull it together.
