Great.

We also welcome contributions to how we build tests.  I'm open to
reasonable extra dependencies (with the understanding that we use
subunit v1 as our test reporting language).

Can you run those against a specific share in the existing map_to_guest
environment, rather than needing a whole new environment?

Also please take care where you place your test.  The python block
currently covering "for env in ["fileserver"] extends to below the TAR
tests, and you have moved those tests into "forceuser".

Other than that, it looks like you are on the right track, and I'm
really keen to help you improve our testsuite.

Thanks!
