The old system tests contain only 4 tests total, compared with many more
in lettuce. But they have various disadvantages:
* They require special network setup, effectively requiring root
privileges.
* They require compiled bind9 sources. We want to replace bind9, not
require it.
* They are much more fragile.
* Nobody is really able to update them, as they are unreadable bunch of
shell scripts including each other.
* Their output is not as nice as lettuce's.
So I propose to port the 4 last tests to lettuce and drop them once for
ever. Maybe 4 different sub-tickets may be needed for this, and maybe some
of the 4 tests are duplicates of tests already in lettuce.
