Thanks for the tip, Thomas! I didn't know about it -- but I just read the regrtest.py code, and it seemed to be the only exception it catches. Why not just add testsupport.TestSkipped to the exception it catches when it catches the ImportError?

Right. Done. Now to update all those tests that raise ImportError when they mean 'TestSkipped' :)
