+# This is a workaround for a dubious feature of CPython's test suite: it skips
+# tests silently if importing a module fails.  This makes some partial sense
+# for CPython itself when testing C extension modules directly, because very
+# often (but not always) a C extension module is either completely absent or
+# imports successfully.  But for PyPy it's a mess because it can hide mistakes
+# very easily, and it did.  So the list we build here should contain the names
+# of every module that CPython's tests import with test.support.import_module()
+# but that should really be present on the running platform.
