The layer setup might currently not be as sophisticated as it would be
desirable :-(

When setting up a layer (only one is supported currently), you can use
the following parameters:

- `zcml_config`: filesystem path to a ZCML config

  Default: any `ftesting.zcml` in the package, that is registered.

    Example::

      import os
      import z3c.testsetup
      import my.package
      test_suite = z3c.testsetup.register_all_tests(
          'my.package', 
          zcml_config = os.path.join(
              os.path.dirname(my.package.__file__), 'myftesting.zcml'))

    will look for a file 'myftesting.zcml' in ``my.package``.

- `layer_name`: string

  Registers the layer under the given name.

- `layer`: ZCML layer object

  This overrides any of the above options. This way you can define your 
  own layer like this::

     from zope.app.testing.functional import ZCMLLayer
     mylayer = ZCMLLayer(
          os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'ftesting.zcml'),
          __name__,
          'MyFunctionalLayer')

   and call `register_all_tests` afterwards like this::

      test_suite = z3c.testsetup.register_all_tests(
          'my.package', layer = mylayer)


More details about this can be found here:

http://svn.zope.org/z3c.testsetup/trunk/src/z3c/testsetup/functionaldoctestsetup.txt

I assume, you were aware of that possibilities, so there might be
something missing. If so, please tell. I am very open for proposals, how
we can improve the usability of the package :-)

Hope that helps at least a bit.

Kind regards,
