[ckan-dev] RFC: use oktest for ckan

One thing to say about nosetests is that I find the ipdb plugin really
handy for inspecting things when tests fail:

    pip install ipdbplugin

Then run nosetests with the --ipdb and --ipdb-failures options, when
there's an error or failure it will drop you into an ipdb shell where
you can move up and down the stack and inspect the context etc.:

For a GUI debugger you can also pip install nose-pudb and then use the
--pudb and --pudb-failures options:
