Hi All

I've added a python test harness to yaffs2/direct/python. This has been done 
as a way to streamline testing as well as give a reason/excuse to learn some 
python.

This uses the python ctypes mechanism. I started with SWIG, but some hassles 
and a discussion on the nzpug mailing list soon pointed me towards ctypes 
which has proven to be a lot simpler.
