This patch implements the solution as suggested in the 

report: if a testdir argument is provided and the test 

module is not in a package, it attempts to import modules 

from that directory. This restores compatibility with the test 

suites I wrote in Python 2.2, and does not interfere with 

the current behavior as used by the Python regression test 

suite.
