We tried that, and it doesn't work (or at least it doesn't work in the
case of the test that was causing the problem). The trouble is that if
we wait until call time to work out what get_real_stdout() is going to
return then we're relying on that happening before anything mucks
about with sys.__stdout__. Either way, we need to do _something_ at
init time to make this not fail in weird and wonderful ways
(particularly with anything that uses the doctest module, which pokes
something unholy onto sys.__stdout__).

Yes, I agree; I'll take care of that tomorrow if Brad doesn't do it first.
