Make it possible to use Python 2.7 unittest syntax in our unittests

It's long annoyed me that we don't get to use the fancy new self.assertMultiLineStringEquals and other similar type-aware assert methods in our unittests.  Even assertEquals in python 2.7 is type-aware and does much nicer printing.

It would be nice if we could either add ourselves some sort of unittest shim for python 2.6 and below, or find some other way to make this possible. :)

Please pardon the broad you're-good-at-python CC, and feel welcome to remove yourself if you're not interested. :)
