This test fails in standard Python as well ... the basic problem is the 
datetime.py produced a derived type T when adding two T's together, the 
test expects it to produce a standard datetime.timedelta objects.
I've attached a patch (as plain text) that makes the result of 
arithmetic operations between datetime.timedelta objects standard 
datetime.timedelta objects. Not sure why this is a good thing, or if it 
should be done to the rest of the datetime code (its not tested for) - 
there are a few other places where self.__class__ is used to generate a 
derived result
With this patch and the classmodule patch all the non-pickle tests pass 
on my pypy.

PS this should check if text/x-patch mime types are now getting through 
to the list too.
