Log Message: The only error the test suite skips is currently ImportError -- so that's what we raise. If you see a problem with this patch, say so and I'll retract.

test_support creates a class 'TestSkipped', which has a docstring that suggests it can be used in the same way as ImportError. However, it doesn't work ! Is that intentional ? The easiest fix to make it work is probably making TestSkipped a subclass of ImportError, rather than Error (which it is, now.)
