I'm actually trying to write some tests for historyCopy, so I'm seeing 
these failrues when I run the OFS tests, so I'll fix 'em...

However, if you can point me in the direction of any tests that use a 
scratch ZODB to test ZODB-stuff (ie: historyCopy in my case...) I'd be 
very greatful if you could point me at them.

Also, if I do a writeable checkout of Zope 2 trunk or Zope 2.9 branch, 
any ideas how I then compile things suchthat I can run the tests, and 
how do I run the tests once I've successfully compiled everything?

cheers,

Chris
