Ah, ok.

To my knowledge, these packages don't support that spelling.  bin/test is the way to run the tests for the Zope packages AFAIK.  Do you, or others, disagree?  The fact that you have to modify setup.py in order to run your example seems to support my perspective.

If you disagree, I'll see if I can address, but I'd rather not add that to the release blockers if I don't have to.

The install_dir stuff appears to be something that distribute adds.  They didn't show up with setuptools.  I just made the buildout tests in my betafix branch ignore them.  As far as I know, that's a reasonable approach.
