That doesn't seem to work. If I use discover withing setup.py, I get
the same problems as using the standard setuptools testrunner. If I
have a custom script that I run to run the tests, the tests seem to
get stuck in some sort of infinite regression and never end.

It's really strange that running tests with setuptools fails. I think
the best way forward is to try to figure out why, but I have no idea
when or if I'm able to do that.
