Help needed: Code coverage in phpunit phpt testing

Hello all, Having the daily tests support PHPUnit-style tests is nice, but quite some packages use .phpt to write unit tests. I already got running .phpt from within phpunit tests working [1], but an important feature, code coverage, is missing. Since .phpt tests are executed in a new php instance, phpunit does not catch any coverage. It is possible to let PEAR_RunTest generate xdebug coverage output into a file that can be read after running the test. This informatin has to be injected into phpunit somehow, so that the report generator can cover tests run by the assertPHPT-task, too. Sebastian Bergmann already assigned the issue to himself, but it seems as if he wants to integrate the phpt functionality in php4 only, which will take some time and is IMO too late. If someone could hack and provide a patch against phpunit that enables code coverage reports for .phpt tests could a) perhaps convince sebastian that the feature can go into the next version of phpunit b) instantly have all the phpt-using packages tested as well plus having nice coverage reports.
