Not a problem, it's an easy job.

I'm copying *all* the tests into a file called ``configobj_test.py``. 
I'm leaving a few useful ones in configobj.py as well.

There won't be any doctest stuff in configobj.py, so they are now 
examples only.

I've removed some of the text. I've left the ISSUES and CHANGELOG in as 
it is useful to keep these *in* the file. That way someone who just has 
configobj.py still has some information about it.

I suppose the CHANGELOG doesn't contain that much information, so I 
wouldn't be averse to moving that into a separate text file if you 
thought it was better. (About 400 odd lines.)
