We tried to find out about tempest-lib, asked Keichi Ohmichi, but it 
seems that's still work in progress. Can you point us somewhere where we 
can understand how to employ this technology.
So the use cases will be:

1. Be able to run the suit against EC2 in nova.
2. Be able to run the suit against stackforge/EC2.
3. Use that for gating for both repos.

Additional complication here is that some of the tests will have to 
skipped because of functionality absence or because of bugs in nova's 
EC2 but should be employed against stackforge's version.

Could you advice how to achieve such effects?
