Fred Drake b9ad228798 Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.

Guido van Rossum c8da0f966f Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a
better solution would have been to factor out the raw_input() call and
make it into an overridable method.  Oh well, maybe later...)
