A couple wild-ass-guess ideas:

* Perhaps more test___all__ smarts are needed?  You added a "known
  skips" list to regrtest.py.  test___all__ could perhaps avoid
  importing any module that's not supposed to work on the current
  platform.

* How about comparing sys.modules.keys() before and after a test and
  then remove any that were added that are Python modules?  (It's not
  safe to remove extension modules, right?)
