I've checked in code on the mainline to support a new --result-format
option to control whether to save results as XML or in a binary format.

This option actually enables something we've planned for sometime:
user-defined extension formats for saving results, so that you can
dump results out as a spreadsheet, graph, etc.

See the documentation for details about how this works.

Thanks,
