Adam:

I'd like to commit this (almost) as is, in your name, as a quick way to quieten the tests. So thanks for that. Also, you're right: some of these, like lib2to3, are skips not failures.

Afterwards we should look for more specific ways of omitting the failing parts of tests instead: e.g. where only some cases in a test fail or only fail on Windows. At the same time, we open any new issues we need.

My "almost" means with the following differences (which I'll take care of):
1. Not the change to README.txt as it is basically what I already added.
2. We don't need to include in _expectations tests skipped on a denied resource (--use flag) and the codecmaps_* tests are failures for me.

At some stage the project seems to have thought the _expectations variable listed expected failures. I know that coming late to this, I didn't really understand this code until I re-worked some of it. It would be worth challenging entries one at a time to get that right. When I force them to run, most are skips, but some are failures (and a few are passes).
