1 works, I haven't tried 2 since 1 worked :-)

        environment = Environment(
            toolpath=['.'],
            tools=['protoc'],
        )

Yes, but… is this the right paradigm to get people writing tests for
non-core tools to use? I can become happy with "yes", but I just wonder
if there is an easier way.
