pybuild tells build system to build .py/.so files in temporary
directory (with a _stable_ name), copies tests dir there as well,
changes current directory to that dir (so that sys.path[0] doesn't point
to sources), runs tests and removes them (so that install target doesn't
pick them up)

file bugs please. Works fine for me.

this will test python2.7 only and will most probably ignore extensions, etc.
