Thanks a lot for caring!

Fine with me!

Probably makes sense post this info to nose-dev (if you didn't already)
and/or testing-in-python mailing list.

One thing that i'd like to point out: pytest grew with 2.5 IIRC
the ability to intercept pytest startup very early, before loading conftests,
through the pytest_load_initial_conftests hook.  It sees all options
provided by core and setuptools-managed plugins and thus would allow
pytest-cov to initiate coverage before conftest.py files (and before
collection of course) and thus before project-specific code executes.
This should give much better default output as modules imported from
conftest files will be correctly included.  For an example you can look
at the _pytest/capture.py.

best,
holger
