Docs:
  incremental.HOWTO.txt
  incremental.TODO.txt
Prep:
  es2hs.py
  sort+group.py
  mksets.py
Actual harness:
  incremental.py
  regimes.py
Analysis:
  mkgraph.py
Handy wrapper script:
  dotest.sh

Total of 9 files out of 19 in the testtools dir... not quite to domination,
but close. ;-)  If you think they should be pushed further down a directory
hole, that's OK with me... just update the sys.path mangling at the top of
relevant files to be sure to grab spambayes from the local tree and not
some installed version...

FWIW, the prep scripts can be used with stuff other than this harness, too.
They just build the semi-standard 1-message-per-file Data/{Ham,Spam}/Set*
testing tree with specially named files (names indicating sequence and
grouping information).
