 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.
