Well, right now it's in an unstable location.  If the py.test people are
willing to "maintain" it (perhaps clean it up & otherwise take
responsibility) I think codespeak is a good place; otherwise I can put
it up on my own site, with the caveat that I don't actually use py.test.
Up to you guys!

Note that it must be released under an open content license, so there
are lots of legit options.
