Hi Holger, congrats on the release and thanks for the news.  I
couldn't find any examples on the tox site for how to use the pypy-c
interpreter aside from a mention that it requires patches.  Can you
point to a tox.ini file that shows how to test against pypy?  I got
this error with out-of-the-box pypy 1.4: IOError: [Errno 2] No such
file or directory:
'/Users/kumar/dev/nose/.tox/pypy14/bin/easy_install'
