Summary: make test failure on sunos5

Initial Comment:
I don't have time to dig into this right now, but this
shouldn't get lost.  I just tried to build and test
current 2.2+ cvs on a SunOS 5.8 box on the SourceForge
compile farm.  This may be shallow, but here are the
results:

bash-2.03$ uname -a
SunOS usf-cf-sparc-solaris-2 5.8 Generic_108528-11
sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

[...]

163 tests OK.
4 tests failed:
    test_pwd test_socket test_sundry test_urllib2
20 tests skipped:
    test___all__ test_al test_asynchat test_bsddb
test_cd test_cl
    test_curses test_gdbm test_gl test_imgfile
test_linuxaudiodev
    test_minidom test_openpty test_pyexpat test_sax
test_socket_ssl
    test_socketserver test_sunaudiodev test_winreg
test_winsound
Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on sunos5.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test'

The "skipped on platform xy" approach is inherently broken.
minidom and pyexpat are not necessarily skipped; they are
only skipped if no expat library was found during build.
Likewise, the gdbm tests are skipped if no gdbm is installed.

Furthermore, "on sunos5" says nearly nothing; Solaris 2.3
classifies as sunos5 just as well as Solaris8, yet Solaris 8
has many more functions built-in.
