pyunit compatability should not be a goal for trial unless, as I've said
before, you can get pyunit to support the reactor-running policy trial
ought to have, i.e. more or less reactor.run() only once and
reactor.stop() when all tests are done.  

If pyunit can't do that, there's no point even thinking about
compatability, since pyunit will never be able to run trial tests
correctly anyway.
