New issue 118: native traceback option

Description:
  I'm using Eclipse with PyDev and when running unittest this allows me to click on the traceback information to directly jump to the code. For py.test when called from the IDE this does not work, since apparently PyDev relies on the standard traceback format to make it clickable.

Therefore it would be great if a --tb option was added to display tracebacks in the native formatting.

For now I fixed this by inserting the following code in collect.py in line 177:
{{{
import traceback
tb_strs = traceback.format_tb(excinfo._excinfo[2])
i = 0
while not tb_strs[i].endswith("    testfunction(**funcargs)\n"):
    i += 1
tb_strs = tb_strs[i+1:]
return "\n" + "".join(tb_strs) + "\n"
}}}

On a side note: I'm currently use {{{py.test.cmdline.main(...)}}} to run py.test from inside the IDE. Maybe one could add some "offical" API to call py.test in this way.

Thanks.
