feature request: subunit2junitxml

Further details - it looks like hudson wants xml files on disk, not a
stream. This is fine.

We could use - or perhaps consider for inspiration -
http://www.rittau.org/python/cruisecontrol/ - the python there is
awkward, but the actual xml formatting considerations are probably the
important bits (maybe 1/5th of the file).

http://nosexunit.sourceforge.net/ also has support for xml, but is a
massive plugin, not a simple 'get xml shit going' component, I doubt
that it would be desirable as a dependency.

Neither of these were particularly up to date or trivially reusable.
I've written a new minimal TestResult object which can be easily reused.
That is at https://launchpad.net/pyjunitxml, and there is a new branch
of subunit up at lp:~lifeless/subunit/subunit2junitxml which uses this
to do junit xml conversions.

Hudson integration will want to pipe the output of subunit2junitxml to a
file on disk.
