Because they *can* work on Linux.

The only way around this would be to come up with some way to either
figure out from introspection that a module is dependent on a third-party
module or have it explicitly listed in regrtest.py; neither sound
foolproof.

If you don't want to be warned about it, then you could apply my patch
(#658316) that implements the skips.txt functionality and just list the
tests to be expected to be skipped on your computer <wink, wink, nudge,
nudge>.
