What I'm trying to do is make it possible to run (most of) the tests in
a configuration as close as possible to our installed packages. This is
important to make sure that our unusual packaging doesn't break any
cctbx features.

So this is really about testing the packaging, and is orthogonal to the
testing of the code in your sourceforge repo. As a secondary goal, it
would also allow to make a cctbx-test package, in case users want to run
the test suite on their own machines.

I understand that I might have to "hunt" a little bit for the necessary
data files, or even skip some tests if they need very large inputs, but
the more I make run, the better. Thank you for your informations, I'll
ask more questions if I need :-)

Cheers,
