 commit cc07a0ba64b554ffd1ff85757b02cd79d30ed57a

     Move the function strip_quotes to testutil.py

     If one runs the testsuite with a profiling compiler, during the import
     of `testlib.py`, `testlib.py` sets the global variable `gs_working`.
 To
     do so, it executes a few statements which require the function
     `strip_quotes` to be in scope. But that function only gets defined at
     the very end of testlib.py.

     This patch moves the definition of `strip_quotes` to testutil.py,
 which
     is imported at the very top of testlib.py. This unbreaks the nightly
     builders.
