For my pibase-based-extensions, I just provide the configuration array
to ...pi1:main() in my test cases.

Have a look at the "seminars" extension (from SVN as the tests are not
in he TER) about how we do this.

You can use the oelib extension which provides a class testingFramework
which can create a fake FE, create dummy records (including TS template
records and page records) and clean it all up afterwards. There are
plans for moving this class to the phpunit extension, too.

Yes, that's dirty indeed. :-)
