Yes, the test suite looks fine.

The lines for suite.addTest are usually put in a loop.

Instead of the setup/teardown steps, consider adding 
some small static files to the test directory: 
filecmp_basecase, filecmp_samecase, filecmp_diffcase.
That would simplify your code and bypass issues of write 
permissions, running tests from a CD-rom, etc.

Attaching test_filecmp.py.  Raymond, you've written test suites with unittest.py, right?  Am I using it in a reasonable way?

There's no test suite for filecmp, so before making any changes, I'm 
going to write a test suite.

The simplest thing would be to simply use os.stat instead of statcache,
and deprecate use_statcache by logging a warning if use_statcache is true.
