[devtools] change the way we start/stop postgresql Instead of having the test db handler start a cluster on demand, use the test module's setUp/tearDown callbacks to do it. This allows to have one data directory (and thus cluster) per test module, allowing different test modules to run in parallel, each using its own database cluster whose path is based on the test module.

About this site
===============

This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
data selected from the object database using a specific query language.

This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
