Test file attributes

This modules provides a collection of test utilities for file attributes. Some file attributes depend on the owner of the process testing the file in the same way the file test operators do. For instance, root (or super-user or Administrator) may always be able to read files no matter the permissions. Some attributes don't make sense outside of Unix, either, so some tests automatically skip if they think they won't work on the platform. If you have a way to make these functions work on Windows, for instance, please send me a patch. :) If you want to pretend to be Windows on a non-Windows machine (for instance, to test 'skip()'), you can set the 'PRETEND_TO_BE_WINDOWS' environment variable. The optional NAME parameter for every function allows you to specify a name for the test. If not supplied, a reasonable default will be generated.
