Adds a new option & directive to doctest, SKIP, which 
can be used to selectively skip examples.

This can be useful in contexts where doctest examples 
serve as both documentation and test cases, and an 
example should be included for documentation 
purposes, but should not be checked.  E.g., the 
example's output might be random; or the example 
might depend on resources which would be unavailable 
to the test driver.  The SKIP flag can also be used 
for temporarily "commenting out" examples.

Patch includes updates to tests & documentation.

Many thanks for the thorough patch, Edward!  This was
checked in to the trunk, as revision 45701.
