I'm actually talking about hijacking stuff like 'osutils.getcwd()'
inside of the test suite.

Specifically, I'm hijacking a new function called
"osutils.normalized_filename" which is handling the unicode
normalization stuff.
What I want to test is that creating an inventory entry succeeds/fails
based on what normalized_filename returns. Usually what it returns
depends on the platform, but I'm forcing it so that I can test
inventory.make_entry() regardless of what platform I'm on.

Yes, it is hijacking, but the more cross-platform tests we can run under
linux, the more we will stop breaking other platforms.
