I couldn't either. So I added a sphinx module for Manuel, supporting
Sphinx testsetup/testcode/testoutput statements.

Missing so far is:
  - support for groups,
  - in particular the * group for testsetup,
  - support for having doctest statements mixed with the above, so you
can have >>> statements but put output in a testoutput statement,

If the code is acceptable to Manuel people, I'll might work on it some
more until my usecases work. :) On the other hand I might abandon this
path completely, and make all my testing *not* be doctests, but use
Sphinx literal-include instead, and run the tests some other way,
because as usual doctests are turning out the be a shitload of work
for very little benefit.

Also if the above code is deemed as being a Good Idea, I will remove
all the usage of zope.testing.doctest from Manuel. This is necessary,
as one of the things I need from Manuel is a Python 3 port, and I'm
not porting zope.testing.doctest to Python 3.
