Hi all, 

i am preparing a py/test-1.3.0 release and stumbled across the need and idea
to extend the '-p' option - comprising these usages:

    py.test -p NAME                # import plugin with the given name 
    py.test -p path/to/conftest.py # pre-load this conftest.py file
    py.test -p path/to/NAME.py     # load given file as a plugin 

The first line works with py-1.2.1 already.  The other two
would be new and useful if you have some special plugin/test running
modes you only want to enable explicitely.  The specified 
conftest/plugin code gets loaded before command line parsing 
so it can add new cmdline options already. 

However it turns out I don't currently have the need myself for this extension
anymore and wonder if anybody is interested in this.  If not i just keep my
local patch in some attic. 

best,
holger
