Pulp

Trying to run the unit tests on a Fedora system without pulp installed, I get errors trying to read /etc/pulp/server.conf, which clearly doesn't exist.

For the tests for the plugin I'm working on, I had to mock the whole config module, and it's not pretty; the reason is that even importing the config module will attempt to read that configuration file.

I think it's reasonable to not fail if the configuration file is missing. It is also reasonable to not rely on the host's configuration when running the testsuite from a git checkout.

For example:

python -c "from pulp.server import config"
Traceback (most recent call last):
