Summary: doctest.DocTestSuite does not support __test__

Initial Comment:
The DocTestSuite tool ignores a module level dictionary 
named __test__.  This limits its usefulness for the 
current python testsuite.

Thanks for pointing it out!  This got fixed by magic as part of 
the refactoring -- doctest's unittest support used to have its 
own code for finding things to test, entirely distinct from the 
test-finding code used by the rest of doctest.  Everything 
uses a new common DocTestFinder class now, so there 
should be no more differences in what the various wrappers 
find to test.

I added a test to ensure that DocTestSuite does indeed make 
tests from a __test__ dict (if present).

Perhaps this can be incorporated in your updates.
