Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com> added the comment:

When I consider that the buildslaves are probably donated and not designated 
exclusively for Python testing, it makes good sense that they typically run 
under a restricted account.

Given that there is a specific permission that can be assigned to the 
buildslave user, it seems appropriate that the tests that attempt to create 
symlinks should fail if the user does not have that permission.

Martin, do you still prefer something that wraps tests that call symlink and 
only executes those tests if the current user context has that permission?
