Yup. The problem is that the testrunner recipe assumes 'src' (from a 
checkout) and can't deal with 'lib/python' (yet).

The difference is that cmmi will download a release tarball and compile 
that, as opposed to doing a subversion checkout of Zope 3. If we'd use 
the checkout recipe in grokproject, people would have to have subversion 
installed. They would also be developing against the Zope 3.3 HEAD.

It has little to do with speed. The idea is that we want grokproject 
sandboxes use a release tarball.
