It also adds in some zcml overrides like smtpMailer that we'll need to
sort out some mechanism for. Ideally allocate-and-report; does zope
handle dynamic port allocation?

So we will need a custom entry point, which in this case will be
script-test.zcml (unless we can make smtpMailer always run on a
dynamic port, which is probably preferrable).
