We've been using a script built around the 'zctl' utility;  since
it is not "officially blessed", I have just checked in a
mega-suite module, 'all_cmf_tests', into the root of the CMF
package.

 $ cd ~/projects/CMF
 $ cvs -q status all_cmf_tests.py
 ===================================================================
 File: all_cmf_tests.py 	Status: Up-to-date

    Working revision:	1.1
    Repository revision:	1.1	/cvs-repository/Releases/CMF/all_cmf_tests.py,v
    Sticky Tag:		(none)
    Sticky Date:		(none)
    Sticky Options:	(none)

Here is what it looks like, running in a Zope 2.3 sandbox with
zctl:

 $ cd ~projects/cmf_test
 $ ln -s ../CMF/all_cmf_tests.py
 $ ./zctl.py test all_cmf_tests.py 
 ZEO server ready.

 Time: 28.039s

 OK (93 tests)

Here is what it looks like, running in a Zope 2.4 sandbox with
no zctl ('ztest' is a script which uses the testrunner from
$ZOPE_HOME/utilities):

 $ cd ~/projects/no_zctl
 $ ln -s ../CMF/all_cmf_tests.py
 $ cat ztest
 #! /bin/sh
 ZOPE_HOME=/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.4-head
 reldir=`dirname $0`
 INSTANCE_HOME=`cd $reldir; pwd`
 SOFTWARE_HOME=$ZOPE_HOME/lib/python
 export INSTANCE_HOME SOFTWARE_HOME
 cd $SOFTWARE_HOME && \
 exec /usr/local/bin/python2.1 $ZOPE_HOME/utilities/testrunner.py -q $@
 $ ./ztest -f `pwd`/all_cmf_tests.py
 Running: /home/tseaver/projects/no_zctl/all_cmf_tests.py

 Ran 96 tests in 21.400s

 OK
