fix issue90 - perform teardown after its actual test function/item. This is implemented by modifying the runtestprotocol to remember "pending" teardowns and call them before the setup of the next item.

 Changes between 2.1.3 and XXX 2.2.0
 ----------------------------------------
 
+- fix issue90: introduce eager tearing down of test items so that
+  teardown function are called earlier.
 - add an all-powerful metafunc.parametrize function which allows to 
   parametrize test function arguments in multiple steps and therefore
   from indepdenent plugins and palces.
