The JPython license forced us to find another name.

I did a diff between the CPython2.0 and your version of regrtest and it
seems to be the getopt module. But the getopt module is part of the
jython2.0a1 and is install along with core jython. At least it works for
me.

This we can fix.

>test_class
>test_format

We can fix test_format.

>test_longexp
>test_pow

We can fix test_pow.

>test_socked
>test_ucn

We can fix test_ucn.

>test_unicode

test_unicode already works but there are some acceptable differences in
the output.

>test_unicodedata

There will always be difference here because CPython is using
Unicode-3.0 and Java is using Unicode-2.x
