Summary: Exclude imported items from doctest

Initial Comment:

With this patch, functions and classes that have been 
imported into a module are not scanned for docstrings 
to test by testmod. These tests frequently fail 
because they end up using the wrong globals.

The method used to test whether a function or class is 
from a given module _does_ work with Jython (tested on 
2.1a3). However, the current CVS version of doctest 
doesn't work with Jython, so I tested this with the a 
version of doctest from python 2.1 that had the same 
mods that are in the enclosed patch.

Tests were added to the docstring of Tester.rundict to 
assure that the exclusion works properly. An update to 
the library documentation for doctest will be 
posted "real soon now".
