Ok. For now I'm done with it. Some elements could use a bit of cleanup.
One thing that needs to be checked is the bash script, the windows batch file works. But the bash script was just copy-pasted together from Busted. So I don't have a clue whether that actually works.

Things I have on my list is an output generator that is configurable, similar to LuaDoc, for outputting just plain text, JSON, or HTML depending on what is needed. 

I have a working fork of busted that integrates LuaCov. So that was my goal. But now it needs to be released to be able to release the busted update.

Let me know if you need any help getting it out.
