That's a lot of work, I guess. The unittests use the quickinstaller 
just like plone, the problem is that kupu etc. don't show up in the 
unittests mock products directory.

I'd prefer not really to change anything, but to use 
PRODUCT_DEPENDENCIES in your AppConfig. That are products that are 
installed just for your unittests, they're not dependencies for the 
quickinstaller if you install your product for real (like DEPENDENCIES 
*is*).

This might need a bit of documentation. Most of the options are 
explained just fine in the generated config.py, btw. I'll look into 
putting that info on plone.org.
