Heres a first quick draft for 'develop':

http://paste.plone.org/22122

It uses a bit of magic to simulate a command line usage like in zc.buildout,
to avoid having to write too much test fixture in the doctests.

It prints out all infos written by setuptools to distutils.log.info (so to
stdout as well)

I guess this is enough to write functional tests for all commands,
I am going to write similar doctest for all commands,

Phillip, is this what you had in mind ?
