Just a heads up that I'm working on these first three steps this evening, so the Lib/test/support.py -> Lib/test/support/__init__.py move will happen shortly. I'll also be landing the patch to add test.support.temp_dir() and test.support.change_cwd() This shouldn't affect any other patches, unless they're adding or change things in test.support.
