Ok, this is a radical solution, but I didn't find any way to use this
extra requirements in my tests, anyway (I imagined that using "recipe
= zc.recipe.compattest [svn]" would do the trick, but it didn't seem
to work...) And indeed, this is a job well done (and much better) by
mr.developer.

Anyway, thank you for clarifying this out!
