Exactly. To add some detail, you would probably run:

qmtest run -c configuration1 -O expected1.qmr -o results1.qmr
qmtest run -c configuration2 -O expected1.qmr -o results1.qmr

...

qmtest report -o report.xml results1.qmr results2.qmr ...

to generate an xml report. I have a sample xslt file that
generates some html out of this, but as requirements and taste
vary widely users may roll their own.

Also note that the result files the 'report' command takes
as input may come from different platforms, so you could
actually set up a 'result aggregator' that your users submit
their test results to, so they can get included into the report.
