I have been looking at the code and it does seems good enough. I like
how easy writing a plugin looks.

I'm working this on my day job and at this point I can't live without
coverage reports (I'm up to 30%!), so I can commit to test this daily,
also several others plugins that I may need, perhaps I can even write
patches :D although I don't know this codebase at all....

for example the pdb plugin is currently not working as it's putting
the stop in inside unittest2, it is also doing funny things when
enabled together with checker :)

another minor thing is that I think report-html = False as you will
get normal "to the shell reports" just like nose default.

anyway it does looks really nice and I'm going to live on the edge
here so fell free to ping me :)
