PS a couple of people have already pointed me towards some useful example repos:
- Sybil: https://github.com/cjw296/sybil/blob/master/sybil/integration/pytest.py - Pytest-CPP: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cpp/blob/master/pytest_cpp/plugin.py <-- really nice and simple :) so I've been able to make a start, and i actually already have a hacky first cut. all good!
