Sounds very interesting! I've been dreaming about such tool since
ages :)

setuptools is giving us lot of pain in telepathy-python (we already
fucked 2 releases because of it and still don't understand exactly where
was the problem). Autotools is far from being my best friend but that's
probably a better choice as it's used in almost all TP projects and TP
hackers are used to it.

Telepathy-salut contains some tubes tests which are, iirc, completely
protocol/CM agnostic (test-two-muc-stream-tubes.py,
two-muc-dbus-tubes.py, test-two-private-stream-tubes.py).

Hopefully you should be able to re-use them with minimal changes.
