can't remember but ok :)  On a cursory look it seems that capturelog
creates and configures a LogHandler for each test.  We can isntead probably 
just create one log handler per session and snapshot relevant loglines per
test.  Also we probably want to add an option 
"--log-capture=yes" (default no or "auto").  Lastly, i think we should
consider merging capturelog into the core capture.py plugin as it's very
related.  Maybe I can give a PR a try next week.

In any case, pytest-2.9 is not going to be out soon so we'd have some
time to play with and settle mechanics.
