Let's discuss and review things when they are there.

I often run tests on multiple platforms and i'd appreciate a combined coverage
report.  Moreover, i'd like to see how to then only report skips when they 
were skipped on all platforms.  This way it'd be easy to identify which 
platform/interpreter is missing in the testing mix by looking at remaining
skips.
