It makes it easier for sure.  When the tests are inside the package, nothing
special has to be done; you just install the package and the tests
subdirectories come along for the ride.  If the tests are outside the package
then you first have to figure out where they're going to go when they're
installed, and then do something special to get them there.

Cheers,
