Yes, I still plan to work on the unittest2 plugins system but it has 
been on hold. I need to do a new release of unittest2 to catch up with 
the unittest work in Python 3.2 / 3.3 (dev) and then the plugins will be 
my main priority.

It has languished for too long, but I am still intending to do it!

My apologies to all those who have been waiting.

All the best,

Michael
