How about virtualenv?

  svn checkout svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/trunk zc.buildout
  cd zc.buildout
  virtualenv tmp
  tmp/bin/easy_install zope.testing
  tmp/bin/python setup.py develop
  cd zc.recipe.egg_
  ../tmp/bin/python setup.py develop
  cd ...
  tmp/bin/zope-testrunner --test-path=src

When I tried this on Python 2.6 I got some failures, e.g.

  Expected:
    ...
    warning: install_lib: 'build/lib' does not exist -- no Python modules to install
  Got:
    ...
    warning: install_lib: 'build/lib.linux-i686-2.6' does not exist -- no Python modules to install

and

  Expected:
    ...
    UserError: Couldn't install: nonexisting.tgz
  Got:
    ...
      File "/home/mg/src/zc.buildout/src/zc/buildout/easy_install.py", line 360, in _call_easy_install
        if d.project_name != dist.project_name:
    AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'project_name'

and a few more.

If I weren't extremely hungry and starving, I'd run the tests in the official
fashion (bin/buildout && bin/test) and see if I get the same failures.

Cheers!
