The recipe only makes sure that a "test" script is created that has all the 
right sys.path entries and some options to make sure that only the tests in 
the specified eggs (in this case zope.kgs) are run.

I think the documentation that comes with zc.buildout is nice. But I started 
with Jim's PyCon tutorial slides. 

http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/trunk/doc/tutorial.txt?rev=82275&view=auto

Yes. But note that the name "test" is just a convention of naming the test 
requirements. The string in the square brackets is the name of the extras to 
be installed.
