[Dev] Mock Reactor for tests?

That's strange, because I was testing with default reactor in a command
line test app. I just retested and the symptoms are that the (unit test)
program ends up in infinite loop where it gives timeout errors every now
and then, and does not respond to Ctrl+C. This is under Cygwin.

Since I haven't needed to use deferred's in my trivial test cases I'd
need to figure out how to call this.

But I think it should go into twisted proper. I have a need for this in
M2Crypto unit tests, Grant could probably use this for zanshin unit
tests etc.
