For the oops-* projects I've just done
bin/py -m subunit.run package.tests.test_suite
or equally we could do
bin/py -m subunit.run discover

And it should Just Work.

When you say 'entry point' do you mean having a function that takes
argv, which buildout can make a dedicated script for? We can do that
for subunit pretty easily, I think.
