[TIP] Coverage 3.0 beta 3

[Ned Batchelder]

Well, it turns out the beta 2 kits were kind of crap: they didn't even 
contain all the files needed for the new HTML reporting feature.  You 
might say my face is *covered* in egg! D'oh...

So Beta 3 is available at PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage/3.0b3

I've also finished the last of the API changes, though there are no docs 
yet, so if it matters to you, you'll have to read the docstrings to see 
what's going on.  I've tried hard to maintain backward compatability 
with, for example, the nose cover plugin.
