introduce py.test.mark.nocollect
-------------------------------------------------------
tags: feature 1.2

for not considering a function for test collection at all. 
maybe also introduce a py.test.mark.test to explicitely
mark a function to become a tested one.  Lookup JUnit 
ways of tagging tests. 

have imported module mismatch honour relative paths
--------------------------------------------------------
tags: bug 1.2

With 1.1.1 py.test fails at least on windows if an import 
is relative and compared against an absolute conftest.py 
path. Normalize.

make node._checkcollectable more robust
-------------------------------------------------
tags: bug 1.2

currently node._checkcollectable() can raise
exceptions for all kinds of reasons ('conftest.py' loading
problems, missing rsync-dirs, platform-skip-at-import-level 
issues, ...).  It should just return True/False and cause 
a good error message.

call termination with small timeout
-------------------------------------------------
tags: feature 1.2
test: testing/pytest/dist/test_dsession.py - test_terminate_on_hanging_node

Call gateway group termination with a small timeout if available. 
Should make dist-testing less likely to leave lost processes.

have --report=xfailed[-detail] report the actual tracebacks 
------------------------------------------------------------------
tags: feature

there is no way to induce py.test to display the full tracebacks
of the expected failure.  Introduce one.

relax requirement to have tests/testing contain an __init__
----------------------------------------------------------------
tags: feature 1.2
bb: http://bitbucket.org/hpk42/py-trunk/issue/64

A local test run of a "tests" directory may work 
but a remote one fail because the tests directory
does not contain an "__init__.py". Either give
an error or make it work without the __init__.py

consider globals: py.test.ensuretemp and config 
--------------------------------------------------------------
tags: experimental-wish 1.2

consider deprecating py.test.ensuretemp and py.test.config 
to further reduce py.test globality.  Also consider 
having py.test.config and ensuretemp coming from
a plugin rather than being there from the start.

consider allowing funcargs to setup methods
--------------------------------------------------------------
tags: experimental-wish 1.2

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.


outsource figleaf plugin 
---------------------------------------
tags: 1.2 

Packages with external dependencies should be moved out
of the core distribution.   Also figleaf could serve as
another prototype for an external plugin. 

consider pytest_addsyspath hook
-----------------------------------------
tags: 1.2

py.test could call a new pytest_addsyspath() in order to systematically
allow manipulation of sys.path and to inhibit it via --no-addsyspath
in order to more easily run against installed packages. 

Alternatively it could also be done via the config object 
and pytest_configure.
