I realized (and Phillip Eby reminded me) that setuptools plugins can be
distributed separately:  I just released 'eggtestinfo' to the
cheeseshop:  when the plugin is installed, generated '.egg-info'
directories will contain a 'test_info.txt' file, which documents both
the 'test_suite' and the 'tests_require' from 'setup.py'.
