You don't have to use a plugin to bootstrap; it was just one example
used in the manual. You can also:

  * Do all bootstrapping in a file, and specify this file to the
    $bootstrap property of the test case. If you do this, make sure that
    you do not call dispatch().

  * Create a method that does all your bootstrapping, and assign a
    callback to this method. This would work essentially the same as the
    examples in the manual, except that you would do more than assign a
    single plugin, you'd do your entire application bootstrapping.

BTW, the plugin I suggested in the manual would operate at
routeStartup() -- which allows you to assign routes prior to routing,
making it another viable option.
