In Python 2.6 the testRunner keyword argument to unittest.main
(TestProgram) changed from None to TextTestRunner.

This breaks test suites (like the setuptools tests) which pass in None
when not wanting to override the default.

This is easy to fix without breaking anything (but hard to test). I will
be fixing this and backporting to 2.6-maint unless there are objections.
