"make test" fails in a release tarball

[Paul Winkler]

With a 2.9.0-b1 release tarball, the "test" target of makefile fails due to importing an old, removed testing package. The below patch is a partial fix to use the new testrunner, but it's still broken -- it gives lots of test errors that I don't understand and don't have time to investigate further.

The same is still true for the the final release. But I am not sure if the tests need to be runable for release packages.
I got them running by exporting the ZOPE_HOME which should point to the installed zope, and than adding $ZOPE_HOME/lib/python to the items on the PYTHON_PATH.
I also had to install the python package for the profiler.
For me this is acceptable work if I really want to make a testrun with the release package

Current Zope doesn't support a CMMI build system anymore, so there's no "make test".
