Aaahhh... Ok.

Probably my phone number. :-\
All the current Reporter plugins are in lib/MTT/Reporter/*.pm.
MTTDatabase.pm is the most comprehensive, but the others are quite
functional (Email.pm, TextFile.pm, INIFile.pm). The interface should
be rather straightforward:
Init: Called when the MTT client initializes.
Finalize: Called when the MTT client finalizes.
Submit: Called when the MTT client wants to submit something. If you
look at the output from a Verbose run of the MTT client, you can see
that this function is invoked at the end of each test run phase
iteration.
I'm sure you'll have my questions -- feel free to ping me/Ethan with
whatever you need.
