Possibility to extend epilogue message

[keis]

I wanted to extend the default reporter to include any log messages sent through log4js for failing test cases. Capturing the data was easy enough with the various hooks available on the runner.

However, to get the output I wanted I ended up copying a big chunk of base.js into my file. It would be nice if there was a easy way to extra output for each failure from the reporter, possibly through a hook?

my hack for reference https://gist.github.com/keis/7786301
the bit I wanted to add to the output is pretty much only

    if (test.capturedLog) {
        msg += '\n  Captured log messages:\n';
        test.capturedLog.forEach(function (log) {
            msg += '  ' + log;
        });
    }

I might try to dig in and create a patch but wanted to know if this is a good idea at all before starting.

the runner emits a 'fail' event you should be able to use https://github.com/visionmedia/mocha/blob/master/lib/runner.js#L198

Used that hook already to capture the data I wanted. but the bundled reporters are not doing their output (besides the dot) in that phase. What I wanted is to output the log messages together with the summary of failed test cases.
