Hmm. Rolled newspaper for them. :-)

It's a refactoring to prepare for 0.3, where we'll have the
actual TestCase object. This object will allow you to write
tests TTW.

Yes, we know a lot of you don't want to do that. Don't worry,
ExternalTestCase will always be there ;-) But you have to
realize that there are also a lot of people who just won't
touch Python code in the filesystem whenever possible. If
you're testing a ZClass-based Product, it would be completely
cumbersome to use PyUnit.

Mumble mumble. Probably API incompatibility between Zope
versions? We'll look further into it.

(Recent versions are deprecating direct access to the 'id'
attribute, specially because you don't know when it's a string
and when it's a method... we should have used getId())

We now have a SourceForge project, feel free to report bugs and
browse our open tasks to see where we're going :-)
