+refine session initialization / fix custom collect crash  
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+tags: bug 1.2 core xdist 
+
+When calling "py.test path/X" py.test can crash if the collection 
+of that directory is skipped.  Calling "py.test path" will give
+proper output.  The reason is that for the very first colitems 
+getinitialnodes() and a collection is done before the fully 
+controlled session and pytest_make_collect_report protocol takes over. 
+Try to remove the redundant getinitialnodes related logic and amend
+the session collect logic to care for this "initial" case as well. 
+Apart from simplification a side effect the dsession's session
+and the core session probably converge some more.

 Users have expressed the wish to have funcargs available to setup 
 functions.  Experiment with allowing funcargs there - it might
 also help to make the py.test.ensuretemp and config deprecation.
+For filling funcargs for setup methods, we could call funcarg
