Right now it's just a report aggregator based on the json reports cucumber-jvm 
produces.

The json reports cucumber-jvm produces are busted so I need to correct them 
next.

I expect to be able to role a surefire like plugin in the future, but we are 
missing a lot of parts that I can build, test, and deliver value on 
individually before wrapping them together.

right now I run cucumber-jvm with the exec plugin (3 times, behaving 
differently each time) and have a single maven plugin consuming all the 
reports... which appears stable and usable, except that cucumber-jvm's json 
report has a few bugs to solve first.

Also in the process of making the json report thread safe (and writing the 
tests to prove it) while hunting these bugs.

End goal is flexibility on how cucumber features are run (run the same scenario 
- aka test - once per browser or once per target website, or combinatorial 
explosion...) in a multithreaded mode.  Mostly because that's what I need at my 
current job.
