How would I do this using a command line option and ZConfig's command-line 
override support for autotest.py?

Does autotest.py limit the size of the email sent?
If not, lemme know, and I'll make it do so :-)

Again, how can I alter autotest.py to use ZConfig's command line override 
support so that you can override the unit->test->script?

I notice that autotest.py suffers from this problem too :-S

The reason I ask is that the standard (and correct) response when I report that 
tests are hanging is:

"Re-run the tests with -vv and tell us which test is hanging"

I'd dearly love to be able to do that by providing a command line option to 
autotest.py...

Any ideas?
