1016	Add dependency on a mocking library	francois	zooko	"A mocking library comes handy for writing tests which exercise only a specific class or function independently of the rest of the code. This is especially useful with system functions like {{{os.listdir()}}} which works differently across platforms.

On #tahoe-lafs, Zooko proposed to use the {{{mock}}} Python library written by Michael Foord.

If nobody objects, I'll post a patch which add a dependency on {{{mock}}} in source:/_auto_deps.py#L1.
