The interesting point here is that everybody is able to test the 
install. But I think it should be part of the core (but the distributed) 
as code should be tested. This will "educate" contributors (and core 
team member) to slowly move to TDD which is the way v5 is developed.

If it is outside of the core, then the risk is that some core members do 
not write unit test for their new features which I find not cool.

You may externalize the unit test repository using a SVN property 
svn:externals. This way, people may easily incorporate this into their 
install.

BTW, I'm not sure why somebody would like to run tests on another 
revision that the head of trunk. And this means that they probably will 
use the trunk itself as typo3_src.
