Would it be possible for conftest.py to be moved into the pysaunter egg, so that users don't have to have the latest copy installed in their main test dir (parallel to modules, scripts, etc.)?

Our test suite has all its components (conf, conftest.py, modules, scripts, support, pytest.ini, etc.) checked into Perforce. And our Jenkins site has an artifact which is a downloadable tar.gz file of the latest version of the testsuite from Perforce. Anyone who wants to run the latest version of the suite just needs to download, edit conf/saunter.ini, and run. But since these "anyone"s who do this download/edit/run may have a different version of pysaunter installed than the one matching the checked-in conftest.py, all sorts of problems are possible. And it seems really inconvenient to make all of these "anyone"s copy the appropriate conftest.py from the pysaunter version they're using.

Yet another enhancement for your contemplation!
