Description

* Populus Version: 1.11.2
* OS: linux

### What was wrong?
'testnet' is not configured as a chain option, so I tried 'ropsten' (which is).
'ropsten' expects there to be a `ropsten/` subdirectory from geth,
however geth v1.7.3 uses the `testnet/` directory now (which is ropsten, no idea why it's like this).
Therefore I get a timeout because there is no directory for 'ropsten' (anymore?)

I made a symlink in my geth data dir from 'ropsten' -> 'testnet' and I've got a workaround

Is there something I'm missing?
