in the svn, in the remote module.

  base.py holds the class you have to subclass: RemoteBts.
  
  backends then produce pairs of (self, opaque_data) and the class
  RemoteReport acts as a proxy on those.

  Though, before working on new backends, I'd like to polish some others 
things first, and to be sure the API I'm showing to you is stable (it 
had a recent change not later than yesterday IIRC).
  Especially, I will at some point make the "virtuals" functions of the 
RemoteBts class protected (prefix them with an underscore). maybe some 
other things may change a bit (removing dirty globals and make them be 
class static vars e.g.).

  If you are interested into writing a backend (for mantis I guess ?), 
you could join the devel ML, so that you can start when the API is 
mature enough (that should be in less than a week IMHO though).
