Summary: allow whitespace lines for doctest tests

Initial Comment:
Currently doctest.py does not allow individual tests 
to have all-whitespace output lines. This patch 
proposes a fix for this. With this patch a leading '.' 
on a doctest output line, if and only if the tests are 
indented, will signal that following whitespace *is* 
the expected output. 

For example, currently this cannot be doctest'ed

"""
    >>> print "\nhello\n"

    hello

    >>>
"""

But with this patch *this* can be:

# file test_doctest.py
"""
    >>> print "\nhello\n"
.
    hello
.
    >>>
"""
def _test():
    import doctest, test_doctest
    return doctest.testmod(test_doctest)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    _test()

Grrr, the code I put in the comment is supposed to be 
indented of course. I will attach the test_doctest.py to 
clarify.
