It ought to be possible to run the Zope testrunner by installing a 
script, e.g. installing zope.testrunner in a virtualenv to get the 
'test' script. I don't know what more zc.recipe.testrunner does, but I 
agree that we shouldn't be dependent on buildout (over 
virtualenv+easy_install/pip) to be able to run tests.
