[py-dev] xdist and pytest.main

[Adam Goucher]

Whoops. Didn't look at the list reply-to settings so pulling the list 
back in. This does seem to be the cause. I commented out the 
sys.path.append in the wrapper and added

def pytest_configure(config):
     sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "modules"))

to the conftest.py in the root and it 'seems' to be working.

My initial thoughts around error detection still stands though.

Thanks for the nudge to finding the solution.
