Yup, that looks much better. As far as I'm concerned, let's use this.
(I'll leave it to Martijn to explain whether/which/why additional
information should be stored in the KGS in computer-readable form.)

I've just updated z3c.recipe.compattest to support exactly this:

>   [buildout]
>   parts = ztk-tests
>   extends = the-file-above
>
>   [ztk-tests]
>   recipe = z3c.recipe.compattest
>   include = ${ztk:projects} ${ztk:also-tested}

Would you give it a try?
