Comment 16 for bug 449262

There's a simple test case for this, but then again, it is not "unit test" in a sense because it is platform-specific:
* you need to run buildout and install a platform-dependent (c-extension)
* use another interpreter inside the buildout that is in different architecture than the one being used by the bootstrapper.

That's for testing this specific use-case.
I don't understand how design of the tests in this project. could you please elaborate on how to execute them?

Since I don't know how to run the tests I cannot confirm, but I'm pretty sure that the existing tests cover the changes in this patch (the change effects every buildout run).

and not that is an acceptable argument, but, I'm using this build internally on linux/windows/osx/sunos and its solid.
I would be happy to work on a complete test case, but again, I'm having trouble understanding how the tests are written and how to execute them.
