I just put it out on the public CVS server::

   $ cvs -d :ext:cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository co Packages/FunctionalTests

I will make a tarball and push it to www.zope.org tonight.

Samples are in an 'examples' directory under the package.  Note that

I used these to good effect during the CMF 1.2 release cycle:  in
particular, I found a couple of bugs (one in ZPT!) which unit tests
didn't uncover (and really couldn't).
