because someone may want to work on improving the coverage.. it could
be usefull for someone to have his own tb box to do coverage report
on a feature branch or even a local one....

maybe someone will want to run some test coverage that are not yet
part of the 'canonical one' etc...
in any case it is always good to be flexible, you never know what
vreative way to use a good script one will find :-)

I have not addressed it yet.. but that should be not too hard to do with jenkins
I'll just have to coordinate with cloph to find a home for it
