So I've read through the code, and AFAICT this is all thats needed:
 - a unique ftesting.zcml per parallel runner,
 - with a unique +config-overrides.zcml file included
 - with a unique config name
 - which inherits from testrunner on disk.
 - and has a matching appserver config which inherits from testrunner-appserver

And then per-thing-that-needs-to-be-unique (e.g. dbname), we write
that out into the unique config.

Am I missing some stuff?

Some context - we need to allocate unique ports, dbnames, etc for
testing with, and while I'd like to do stuff really cleanly, I also
want it working now :) - so I'm looking for the highest-leverage point
to push on in the short term - whilst this might seem ugly, it seems
like it should let us have the existing test code and config code
manage to work.

it would be nice if I knew why we had the -appserver variation though,
I don't understand why its necessary or beneficial.
