The tool works great.  It converted our whole tree without error. I
tried it on the source trees of a few other projects as well, and
haven't found any errors in more than a month, I think.  (Actually, I
commented out the part that does assertRaises, since I don't have a
'raises' yet.)  What I think is left to do is to remove the lines that
say 'import unittest' and substitute whatever magic you need to put in
the file to get the new test framework -- assuming there is any.  

I don't know how complete pypy/tool/pypyutest.py is, either.
