great, thanks.  MIT-licensing is fine for you, btw?

It's not about apipkg, it's about importing the defaultconftest.py starting
from its file location which, it being part of a zip-file, does not work.  
This loading-by-filename is done for uniformity with loading other 
conftest.py files.  However, i guess here we can instead just always import 
py.impl.test.defaultconftest by python import path.

not sure either how many people use py.cleanup/py.lookup etc. 
I am sure, though, that people are interested in the standalone py.test 
version, i have been asked for it a number of times.  Actually I guess 
some maintainers would appreciate a 

    py.test --genscript=mytest [options] [paths]

which generate a custom "mytest" standalone script to be 
shipped with a package or offered for download for users 
to run tests in their environment. 

cheers,
holger
