excellent, i almost didn't write shell script so folks would use the API

y, we can make that configurable

in my case, i generate a lot of data and sqlite helps me from loading entire
coverage into memory. All of sqlite functionality is in CoverageDataHandler so
it can be replaces or we can have alternate implementations no problem

extension can know about simpletest, simpletest probably shouldn't know
extension directly, however... the

for report data, yes, i could see some integration there.  

for coverage data, although i initiate test from simpletest, web tests make http
requests to my web server and i need to gather coverage data there. Nothing is
known about simpletest there.
