Summary: Plug-in modules

Initial Comment:
Don't know if this has 1 single chance to be considered
but here's my proposition.

Goal: design plug-in capability for TestResult
listeners.  A plug-in will receive the "addFailure",
"addTests" evenements from the TestResult object and
will deal with it (update an XML tree, write into a
file, add statistics...)

Advantage: 
- a better modularity
- enable people to write their own listeners and plug
them easily via property files
- BaseTestRunner don't deal with the dispatch of
failures and errors

Implementation:
- TestResult object doesn't store the errors and
failures (the failure() method is used only _once_ and
this behaviour can be replaced by the proposed plug-in
mechanism)
- Only the TestResultListeners store (if they need to)
tests, errors and failures.  That is what is already
done with the Lists and Trees objects.
- BaseTestRunner does not implement TestListener
anymore but contains a list of TestResultListeners
(display tree, list, user-defined via property
files...)
- Trees and Lists and ProgressBar are
TestResultListeners

When running a test:
- a TestResult instance is created
- TestResultListeners are added to the TestResult's
listeners by the BaseTestRunner
- the TestSuite is run normally

I think this is a fantastic idea. I find the test result 
reporting and feedback to be the biggest area of 
improvement for junit. Having this feature would round it 
out so that it is available and usable for numerous uses...
