Dude... why so complicated?

   $ svn co svn//svn.zope.org/repos/main/grok/trunk grok
   $ cd grok
   $ python bootstrap/bootstrap.py
   $ bin/buildout

and then

   $ bin/test

This will run grok's test. You're obviously working with a checkout of 
grok already, so why would you want to run grok's tests from some other 
sandbox??

The current testrunner recipe seems to assume that /path/to/zope3/src is 
supposed to be included rather than /path/to/zope3/lib/python. It's not 
a bug in grokproject.
