Well, first of all, those will have to be platform-specific tests. We
don't have any of those yet. The funny thing is, we don't seem to have
import tests, either, except the ones implicit in every test when the
greek tre is created.

What do you say to this: For the import case, you can modify
main.greek_state to contain an executable file (e.g., iota), and add a
test to basic_tests.py (basic_check_executable?) that checks if the
svn:executable prop is set. For the add case, the test should go into
schedule_tests.py.

Both of these tests should be skipped on anything but Unix.
