- fix #900: Better error message in case the target of a `monkeypatch` call raises an `ImportError`.

- fix #1292: monkeypatch calls (setattr, setenv, etc.) are now O(1). Thanks David R. MacIver for the report and Bruno Oliveira for the PR.

- fix #1223: captured stdout and stderr are now properly displayed before entering pdb when `--pdb` is used instead of being thrown away. Thanks Cal Leeming for the PR.
