[py tests] status on file externals ignored intentionally?

Hi,

I just noticed that in the python tests, status verification on externals
isn't possible, because the function that creates the status tree from the
output conveniently ignores lines on file externals.

A file external line looks like this:

" X 3 2 jrandom /A/C/external"

and that X in the fifth column doesn't match the patterns used in

  svntest.wc.State.from_status()

and these lines are ignored.

In effect, externals can't be covered by run_and_verify_status(), for instance.

I'd just like to know whether that is actually intentional. Otherwise I'll
try grokking how to enhance the patterns in State.from_status().
