The problem was reproduceable when running *all* tests. With all tests
(because the test_wsgi test ran before the one failing) the test you
marked xfail would fail. When only running test_liveserver it would not
fail (an uppercase X for the xfail test). Then I searched for all
strings that I thought could make a difference and hit on the Cache
stuff. Confirmed by running just the wsgi tests and test_liveserver
together.

Hmm, the directory is not existing: It is not supposed to: I've never
installed roundup on that test-machine. So it is expected that the
directory doesn't exist.

Instead I copied the (unfortunately not quite working: I also fixed
that) trick from test_dates.py: It modifies the LOCALE_DIRS in i18n.py.
I also modified DOMAIN there so it would find the checked out (instead
of the installed) locales. (And I'm reverting the changes to i18n so
that we do not get different behaviour when all tests run vs. when only
one test runs, Marcus observed different behaviour which we traced to
the virtualenv he was using where roundup was installed before).

Thanks! That was quick :-)
