Commiting fixes for running our test suite using trial and nose.

We are moving towards a model that allows trial and nose to each run
different parts of our test suite.  I have added __test__ = {} to 
modules that nose should skip.  I have added new decorators that trial
can use to skip tests.  See this ticket for more information:
