I just added a zope-functional-testing extra for those doing functional
tests of Zope 3 apps.  It only adds zope.app.testing, but increases the
number of dependencies (transitively) to 81 packages.

The non-extra dependencies (including transitive dependencies) remain
thus:

ClientForm
mechanize
setuptools
zope.event
zope.i18nmessageid
zope.interface
zope.schema
zope.testing

I'm working on a new package (maybe named zope.functionaltesting) that
will provide only what's needed for functional testing of Zope 3 apps
using testbrowser without all the baggage of zope.app.testing (see
http://hannosch.eu/zope2-dependencies/zope.app.testing.jpeg).
