Summary: Fix relative imports in regression tests

Initial Comment:
The regression test suite uses intrapackage relative
imports to import stuff like test_support, etc. 
There's no deep reason for this to be so, since "test"
is a standard package.  As long as all tests do
something like "from test import test_support" or
"import test.test_support" everything works fine. 
Keeping the relative imports makes life more difficult
for tests that don't live in the expected location of
Lib/test.

This patch fixes this by making sure all test imports
are absolute.  This works fine on *nix, but rumor has
it that the Mac tests are run differently so I'd like
Jack to comment on whether this patch breaks his test
suite or not.

Cool.  I'll go ahead and commit these changes and then you
and Tim can both beat me up.  Guido's at OSCON so he'll have
to wait a week to beat me up. :)

I can't test the patch right now, but after visual I can't imagine that it would cause any problems on the mac. Go ahead and check it in, I would say, and I'll complain when it breaks things:-)
